Description: As the summer season hits the Inland Empire and residents head out on vacation, thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses will return to the Toyota Arena in Ontario after a three year pandemic pause for their annual convention series. This year, the Toyota Arena in Ontario will host four of the three-day events, beginning August 18-20. To prepare for the conventions, volunteers will complete a major facility cleanup the Thursday prior to each weekend. Prior to 2020, summers in Ontario were marked by Jehovah’s Witnesses filling hotels and restaurants as they attended their conventions at the Toyota Arena. In 2020, the Witnesses canceled their in-person events throughout the world and held their convention programs as virtual events in more than 500 languages.The convention is open to the public and no collection is taken.
