Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival Japanese Spring Tradition

Post & Fillmore Streets San Francisco, CA 94115 +1 415 563 2313 http://www.nccbf.org/

The Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in Japantown during two weekends in April. It showcases traditional Japanese arts with continuous demonstrations of, among others, tea ceremonies, martial arts, taiko drumming, and traditional dancing on an outdoor stage in the Japan Center. There are also parades, Asian food kiosks, and live music. Fewer street merchants attend than at most street fairs, but the merchandise offered, such as Kanji calligraphy scrolls, is of good quality and some are unique to this festival. Event is free; some vendors may accept credit cards. See website for yearly particulars. Review © 2009, Wcities
