Come celebrate Sakura Matsuri the weekend of April 29 and 30 at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
You know it’s spring when the pink, peaceful cherry blossoms bloom at the garden.
Officially known as “Hanami,” the garden’s beautiful 220 cherry trees — the largest collection outside of Japan — are expected to start blooming around April 2, reaching their peak around May 1, just in time for the garden’s spectacular weekend-long celebration of Japanese culture, food, dance, and music that’s always one of the season’s biggest bashes.
Sakura Matsuri on April 29 and 30, 10 am to 6 pm. Tickets $25, $20 for seniors and students, free for children under 12 and members.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden [1000 Washington Ave. near Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, (718) 623–7200; www.bbg.org].
