Annual Cherry Blossum Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden

The annual Cherry Blossum Festival begins today in Balboa Park. KUSI’s Allie Wagner was live at the Japanese Friendship Garden checking it out.

This year marks the Japanese Friendship Garden of San Diego’s 13th annual Cherry Blossom Festival! During March 9, 10, and 11 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, visitors are able to enjoy the Japanese custom of hanami – appreciating the beauty of cherry blossom flowers. Last year, our cherry blossoms attracted over 12,000 people and are expected to surpass that number as this will be our second year holding the festival over three days! Each day will be accompanied by various food vendors, cultural performances and demonstrations, and a plethora of family friendly activities!
