Hanami festival 2026
It's almost spring! It's Hanami time! In Japan, people go out during this period to enjoy good food and drink while admiring the beauty of the sakura, the cherry blossoms. They call this hanami. It is also a time to reflect on the transience of life, because the flowering season is beautiful but short.
The museum organized a festival day on March 22, 2026, with indoor and outdoor activities themed around cherry blossoms and Japan, such as a food market, music, workshops, and lectures.
