A scene from the 2018 Candy Caneland and Craft Faire in Buena Park.

Buena Park’s annual Candy Caneland and Craft Faire was last Saturday, and once again, hundreds turned out to the Ehlers Event Center to embrace the Christmas season and the community spirit. The Ballet Folklorico Dance Company provided entertainment, and dozens of booths and vendors offered opportunities for Christmas shopping.

Though heavy rain the previous day looked like it might threaten the much-anticipated event, the skies cleared and the merrymaking commenced.
