Cherry Blossom Festival in Blossom Park
Right now the Japanese cherry trees in the Blossom Park in the Amsterdam Forest are in bloom. When the cherry blossom blooms, spring has begun. The blossom park invites you to picnic with friends and family under the beautiful cherry blossom sky this weekend.
The Japanese cherry tree blooms mostly in the period from the end of March and persists until the end of April. Sometime during this period, the 2-week flowering period takes place. The Blossom Park in the Amsterdam Forest is then at its most beautiful. More and more people know how to find this beautiful blossom garden in Amstelveen. But also in the Westerpark you will find many cherry trees that color the park pink and invite for a picnic with friends.
Cherry Blossom Festival
The Japanese community of Amsterdam and surrounding areas are celebrating the Cherry Blossom Festival these days. For Japanese then, it is tradition to picnic with family under the flowering cherry trees. Flowers and nature have symbolic meaning in Japan. The cherry blossom ("Sakura") represents a new beginning and at the same time refers to the transience of life.
Experience Japanese tradition and visit the Cherry Blossom Festival at Blossom Park this weekend.
