SAKURA  FESTIVAL  in  BOSTON

Spring, 2012

2012 marks the 100th Anniversary of the original gift of cherry trees from Japan to the United States in 1912.  Planted at the Tidal Basin of the Potomac River in the nation's capital and supplemented with more cherry trees over the years, the blossoming cherry trees of Washington DC have become a national treasure and attract hundreds of thousands of viewers to the "Cherry Blossom Festival" along the Potomac each spring.  Japan will mark this Centennial with new gifts of cherry trees to Washington and to a number of other American cities, Boston among them.  The Consulate General of Japan in Boston will arrange ceremonial cherry tree plantings in many Boston parks and public places.  To accompany the new cherry trees, planning is now underway for a rich festival of Japanese cultural events in Boston, beginning in March 2012 and spanning more than three springtime months.   Highlights of this festival include the events listed below.  Many, many more festival events will be added during the coming weeks and months.  For detailed information, schedules, details, and ticketing, please keep checking this website:
