Auburn botanic gardens cherry blossom festival

The Cherry Blossom Festival is an amazing event which showcases the beauty and diversity of Auburn” said Auburn City Mayor Ronney Oueik. It is a key Sydney event celebrating Japanese culture. 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.


Auburn Cherry Blossom Festival This was the first time we had visited the gardens st Auburn. The Auburn Botanical Gardens hosts the Cherry Blossom Festival each August. In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom symbolises the fragility of life and its beauty. Auburn Botanic Gardens is one of the most popular places in Sydney to view beautiful cherry blossoms. The festival focuses on the Japanese Culture and old and modern Traditions.


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. We have covered some family friendly attractions for you at this great local location. There’s even an animal exhibit to see, and food stalls to visit so there’s plenty to do for everyone. It just feels relaxing and in Japan.


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. And then it is $during the Cherry Blossom Festival. During Daylight Saving: Monday to Friday 9. 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 annual Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival is back, paying homage to Japan’s seasonal beauties. You can get your tickets at this link. This place is well known with Japanese garden features and cherry blossom during season.


The annual Cherry Blossom Festival is held in the Japanese Gardens between mid August and early September. It is absolutely beautiful to experience the Japanese Gardens when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. 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. Most activities of the Japanese festival were not very interesting. We were anticipating a large number of visitors so we arrived early, about 8am, just to make sure we have a parking space.


So what is there to eat and do there? Come along and take a peek and see what is good to eat at the Sydney Cherry Blossom festival !
