The Richmond Cherry Blossom Festival returns to Garry Point Park on Sunday, April 2 in celebration of the splendour and transient beauty of the cherry blossom and the richness of Japanese culture.
From 11 am to 4 pm, festival-goers are invited to enjoy a range of cultural performances, view exhibits and demonstrations featuring local Japanese artisans, and picnic under the amazing blossoms with food offerings from multiple food vendors.
“Richmond’s Cherry Blossom trees are a spectacular site in early spring and we are thrilled to be able to share their beauty through our annual Cherry Blossom Festival in person once again,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “This is also a great opportunity to celebrate our vibrant local Japanese-Canadian community and be able to reconnect and gather as a community with family, friends and visitors.” …
