Take photos under a sky of pink, snack on Japanese foo beat a drum and watch sumo wrestling. Plus lots more, including kids activities! In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom symbolises the fragility of life and its beauty. The festival focuses on the Japanese Culture and old and modern Traditions. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival is held in the Japanese Gardens between mid August and early September.
Aside from the gardens themselves and the beautiful blooms there is a lot going on at the gardens relating to Japanese Culture. Running from Saturday August to Sunday August, you can get your ‘gram on in the Japanese gardens, with these beautiful florals staying in bloom for a fleeting two weeks only. This year the festival will feature different themes each day so make sure to check out the program. Themes include Hanami, Garden Day, Kids Day, Serenity, Seniors Day and Let’s Japan.
There’s even an animal exhibit to see, and food stalls to visit so there’s plenty to do for everyone. The annual Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival is back, paying homage to Japan’s seasonal beauties. You can get your tickets at this link. Tickets for residents of Cumberland Council and children under are free.
There are two lakes, a waterfall and bridges. Duck River winds through the garden. The garden is maintained by Cumberland Council. It is open daily, and. This place is well known with Japanese garden features and cherry blossom during season.
Situated only kilometres from the Sydney CB the site features an incredible Japanese Garden, a fauna reserve, sunken rose garden, scented garden, a reflection pool and an Equal Access Playground. I took a friend from overseas to the Cherry Blossom Festival on Sunday 27. So many people you could not move. The entrance gate simply funneled people directly into an already overcrowded food court. Directions to the Japanese gardens and the cherry blossoms were non-existent.
The directory sign was totally useless. This year, the Cherry Blossom Festival features not only cherry blossom , but also include the Japanese themed demonstrations such as Ikebana (flower arranging), Kendo (Martial Arts) and various musical performances. Great for viewing cherry blossoms in spring, the Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s best gardens.
It has spacious lawns for picnicking and family outings, a traditional landscape garden , an uniquely, a French style garden. The central formal area – with reflection pool, pergola and sunken rose garden – has flowers and blossoms through the year. These are just some of the picturesque view inside the garden.
There was quite a huge crowd so we keep an eye on the children as they keep running around the area. The Hanami weekend features delicious food trucks with various choices to choose from. We have covered some family friendly attractions for you at this great local location. While the gardens themselves are small but nice, they harbor only a small number of cherry trees concentrated in two small avenues, and the total view is not impressive.
Most activities of the Japanese festival were not very interesting. Auburn garden is based around a lake.
