Sydney’s most Instagrammable and favourite flower festival makes headlines across Australia every year with thousands flocking to the gardens to experience a slice of Japan in Western Sydney.
Read our past review of the Cherry Blossom Festival at Auburn Botanic Gardens here.
The bumper program this year celebrates our favourite Kitty’s 50th Birthday with Hello Kitty performances and meet and greets. There will be a range of cultural performances, traditional live music, dancing and entertainment, kids activities, horticultural talks and more!
The Japanese Food Village will take your taste buds on a culinary journey with exclusive cherry blossom themed dishes and a huge selection of Japanese fusion. The Cherry Blossom Bar will also be serving up a range of Japanese inspired drinks.
Don’t forget to capture the perfect ‘cherry snap’ at the iconic Cherry Arbour in the Japanese Gardens, and at the Mt Fuji Torii Gate which also offers the best setting for ‘insta-ready’ photos and videos of the iconic Cherry Blossoms.
