The 2022 Pacific Bonsai Expo is only five weeks away! Here are some tips to ensure a successful visit.
1. Purchase Tickets in Advance
Tickets are available for Sunday, November 13th at the
Expo website. Although Saturday tickets are sold out (thank you for the support!), you can attend Saturday by
volunteering,
sponsoring a prize, or making a donation (see
the Expo website for details about which donations qualify for passes).
2. Carpool or Rideshare
Parking is extremely limited at the venue, so your best bet is to carpool with at least 3-4 people per vehicle or use rideshare services like Uber, Lyft, or taxicab.
- If you are staying in a nearby hotel, we strongly encourage you to use rideshare services.
- If you are a local bonsai enthusiast or volunteer, we strongly encourage you to carpool with 3-4 people per vehicle or use a rideshare service.
If you are coming from a distance and find that no parking is available at the venue, we recommend parking in Emeryville where there are lots near Bay Street or the Emeryville Public Market.
3. Bring Food
There's no food at the venue, so plan accordingly. Nearby lunch options are numerous in Emeryville near Bay Street or at the Emeryville Public Market. You can also bring lunch.
For those of you who can't attend this year, you can find
event t-shirts online and pre-order the
exhibit catalog.
