Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Sakura Matsuri, Cherry Blossom Festival in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York City, USA
A weekend celebrating traditional and contemporary Japanese culture!
2016 marks the 35th anniversary of Sakura Matsuri, BBG’s annual cherry blossom festival. Known as New York City’s rite of spring, the weekend offers over 60 events and performances that celebrate traditional and contemporary Japanese culture.
Taiko Drumming • Cosplay Fashion Show • Tea Ceremonies • J-Pop • Samurai Sword Fighting • Manga • Vintage Kimonos • Ikebana Flower Arranging • BBG Parasol Society and More!
The Garden has more than 200 cherry trees of forty-two Asian species and cultivated varieties, making it one of the foremost cherry-viewing sites outside Japan. The first cherries were planted at the garden after World War I, a gift from the Japanese government. Each spring at BBG, when the trees are in bloom, a month-long cherry blossom viewing festival called Hanami is held at the Cherry Esplanade, culminating in a weekend celebration called Sakura Matsuri. The Esplanade features two rows of cherry trees with trails and sitting areas on the side. Visitors may also sit on the field of grass between the rows of cherry trees. Cherry trees are found on the Cherry Esplanade and Cherry Walk, in the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, and in many other locations in the Garden. Depending on weather conditions, the Asian flowering cherries bloom from late March or early April to mid-May. The many different species bloom at slightly different times, and the sequence is tracked online at Cherry Watch, on the BBG website.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden was founded in 1910

The first Tulip Fest was celebrated the next year on May 14, 1949 with opening ceremonies still carried on today as tradition, such as the sweeping of State Street and the crowning of a Tulip Queen.
In 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the festival the state of New York designated Albany as the "I Love New York Spring Destination"
For the 50th anniversary a descendant variety of the "Wonder Orange" tulip was found in the Netherlands, and the new variety was named "City of Albany"

Quelle volte in cui va tutto per il meglio, che di più non avevi neppure osato chiedere! Puoi solo abbandonarti a quel sorriso che avresti voluto concederti ogni singolo giorno.
//
Those times when it's all for the best, that you hadn't even dared to ask more! You can only abandon yourself at the smile you wanted to express every single day.
