Regardless of the fluctuating weather we've been experiencing, spring is officially in the air and the Cherry Blossom trees are in full bloom, as evidenced by the thousands who attended Sakura Sunday at Fairmount Park on April 5.
Part of the Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival, hosted by the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia, this year's Sakura Sunday was the most successful ever as 40,000 people came to enjoy the wonderful foliage - double the number who attended last year. Kudos to Philly for having the fastest growing cherry blossom festival in the country! In addition to the gorgeous Cherry Blossom trees, attendees experienced a variety Japanese food, music and dance. From martial arts demonstrations to taiko drum performances to tea ceremonies, the day truly had something for everyone.
Philly's eagerness to embrace and enjoy so many different cultures is just another sign it is a world-class city.
