The festivities start at 9 a.m.

At 9.30 a.m. the monastic community will make the traditional Songs of Protection – Paritta, at which time visitors will also be able to make the request of the Five Precepts.

Then, at 10am, the Rice Offer Ceremony and the meal of the day will take place. (You can bring a dish to share.)

After the Meal, around 12 noon, the traditional Water Ceremony will take place, in which everyone can participate.
