Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is the city’s signature springtime event and the annual celebration of cherry blossom inspired by the age-old Japanese cultural tradition of hanami (flower viewing). We believe there is power in “connecting our communities”.
Our mantra, “there is no stranger under the cherry tree,” welcomes inclusion, participation, and celebration of all community groups.
Vancouver is home to numerous cherry trees throughout the city that bloom in the Spring, showering the city in beautiful pink flowers. They’re absolutely stunning, and citizens of the city whose family backgrounds come from Pacific Asia recognized them immediately.
