The annual Cherry Blossom Festival held each spring celebrates the culture of Japan in an event featuring music, dance, food, and arts.
Not everyone can travel to Japan to enjoy the sakura (cherry) blossoms, but everyone is invited to enjoy the 2023 Arkansas Cherry Blossom Festival, scheduled for April 2, 2023, in the Hot Springs Convention Center.
This free community event sponsored by the Hot Springs National Park Sister City Foundation and Visit Hot Springs will offer adults and children alike the sights, sounds, and tastes of Japan. Cultural exhibits, hands-on opportunities, workshops, lectures, and performances are planned for the 2023 event.
If you missed the 2022 festival, you can see photos and footage from the opening ceremony and some of the performances at www.ARcherryblossom.org.If you are interested in volunteering or sponsorship, please email festival@hotspringssistercity.org.
