Every spring, Vancouver transforms into a beautiful sea of pink and white, and the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival returns to celebrate one of the most beautiful times of the year. A huge part of the celebration is the Sakura Days Japan Fair, which brings together a mix of Japanese eats, cultural performances, and traditional art.
Guests can sample Japanese food and premium sake at the fair, as well as experience a traditional tea ceremony, Japanese theatre and crafts, and taiko drumming performances.
To say this cultural event is a quintessential spring experience in Vancouver is putting it mildly!
