As one of the biggest local events of the year, the festival attracts visitors from all over Sydney. The Japanese Sakura ( Cherry Blossoms ) bloom for a brief two week period and are expected to attract over 20people. Being Sunday and a nice sunny day it was very crowded but still worth while. Set against the made-for-Instagram canvas of blooming Cherry Blossoms , the Festival is a giddy day. In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom symbolises the fragility of life and its beauty.
The Cherry Blossom Festival takes place at the end of August but the trees are still absolutely breathtaking through September so hurry to see them. There’s even an animal exhibit to see, and food stalls to visit so there’s plenty to do for everyone. We have covered some family friendly attractions for you at this great local location. Outside these hours, it is free for Auburn residents and kids under 16yrs.
For everyone else, it is $on weekends and during the school holidays. Auburn Botanic Gardens is one of the most popular places in Sydney to view beautiful cherry blossoms. And then it is $during the Cherry Blossom Festival.
The bitter cold of winter is nearly gone, blossoms are filling the bare branches and gardens are springing to life. 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. The Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival is a celebration of Japanese culture through flora, foo movies, music and performance from 17th to 28th August. 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. 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.

We went to the Auburn botanic garden to see the cherry blossom festival during the last two weeks of August. 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. Picnic lunch provided. Access: Moderate amount of walking, excellent mobility required. This year promises to be the biggest and best yet, with a suite of new attractions and events.
