Experience The Beauty Of The 14th Annual Cherry Blossom Week At Balboa Park

This year marks the Japanese Friendship Garden of San Diego’s (JFG) 14th annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Babloa Park, and it’s going to be as beautiful as ever!

Cherry Blossom Festival

A week-long Cherry Blossom Festival

This year is special because of the week-long celebration featuring special ticketed evening programs as well as fan favorite vendors and performers returning! JFG will be open each day of the week (with the exception of 19 March). Visitors will enjoy the Japanese custom of hanami – appreciating the beauty of cherry blossom flowers.

Cherry Blossom Trees

The blossoms have been at about 60% this week, but the sunny weekend we’re expected should have them at full blossom for the weekend!

Insider Tip: Get your tickets in advance so you don’t have to wait in line!

See you there!
