This Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates the arrival of spring with a jam-packed schedule of events that captures the beauty of the cherry tree and embraces the Japanese tradition of hanami, which means ‘flower viewing.’ Many events have free admission and all are open to the public. I am thrilled to see the joy on people's faces and all of the excitement of hosting this year's Festival," said Mark Butcher, 2015 Cherry Blossom Festival Chairman.
