local_poster_06-Small.jpg Here are the dates for the festivals from April to June, 2010. On all these days there are special festivities in the temple. On the smaller festivals most of the celebrations take place during the morning program, with a feast served at the next meal after the end of the fast time. On all the festivals regular prasadam meals are served at other meal times (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for those unable to fast.

Details of the bigger festivals (in this case Summer festival, Sri Krishna Janmastami, and Srila Prabhupada's appearance day), when there will be events throughout the day, will also be posted as separate events.
