Sakura Matsuri
Saturday, April 28–Sunday, April 29
Noon–6 p.m.
Participate in New York City's "rite of spring" at Sakura Matsuri. With over 200 trees in bloom, Brooklyn Botanic Garden's flowering cherries take center stage during this phenomenal weekend celebrating Japanese culture with over 60 events and performances. Enjoy traditional Japanese music and dance, taiko drumming, ikebana flower arranging, cooking demonstrations, tea ceremonies, craft demonstrations, and workshops for both adults and children. Free with Garden admission.
Anyone interested in going? I think the kids would like it as well. I should be done with the tax job then and have more free time. Also looks like kids get in free. Good trip for them and I shall introduce them to even more asian oriented holidays.
And yes K, there will be "real" japanese people there. I can't wait to show them to Jack
