Join us for the 2025 Cherry Blossom Festival at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

This free, family-friendly event will be filled with Japanese culture, delicious food, and a variety of performances to enhance your Hanami (flower viewing) experience. Cherry blossoms, or sakura, bloom for only a few weeks each year, symbolizing the fleeting beauty of life in Japanese culture. While many in Japan gather in parks to celebrate the blossoms, we're fortunate to have cherry trees across Alabama that bloom each Spring. We invite you to get outside this month and enjoy their beauty!

We're also looking for sponsors, volunteers, and vendors. If interested, please contact us at [email protected].
