Japanese cherry blossom festival




Every year the city's Japanese community celebrates a Japanese cherry blossom festival at the famed Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Alas, this year it had to be cancelled. These images are from a few years ago. It is a wonderful event featuring traditional costumes, food and many Japanese cultural events. Like everything in New York, it's very crowded and one must get there early in order to park. Fortunately the subway has a Brooklyn Botanic Garden stop that is very convenient.
