The Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual spring celebration of Japanese arts and culture organized by Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia (JASGP), with tremendous support from title sponsor Subaru of America, Inc. Featuring a variety of events throughout the city, this yearly festival brings a taste of Japan to Philadelphia and highlights the beauty of Japanese sakura—the flowering cherry trees that brighten city streets and parks with their distinctive pink and white blossoms.

Sakura Weekend, the festival’s centerpiece event, will take place on Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6, 2025 from 10:00 am-5:00 pm both days. Sakura Weekend will feature music performances, cultural activities, a vendor market, beer garden, and more. The Cherry Blossom Festival is a great event for the whole family! Enjoy Japanese tabletop games, storytelling, face painting, calligraphy, scavenger hunts, origami and more. Activities will be held both days in the Horticultural Center Greenhouse. Timed entry tickets are required.

Additional events are scheduled throughout late March and the month of April at venues across the city of Philadelphia, including cultural demonstrations, performances, children’s activities, and more.
