Our city’s cherry blossoms are in bloom and that means it’s time for the Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival at Seattle Center. The festival happens each year at Seattle Center, and celebrates the cherry blossoms as well as Japanese culture.

The festival takes place this weekend April 14th-16th, which is of course the peak blooming season for the cherry blossoms. Besides seeing the blooms, attendees can expect a vibrant and colorful celebration that features a range of activities and performances that showcase Japanese art, culture, and traditions.
