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. It is a key Sydney event celebrating Japanese culture. There’s even an animal exhibit to see, and food stalls to visit so there’s plenty to do for everyone. You can get your tickets at this link.
Auburn Botanic Gardens is one of the most popular places in Sydney to view beautiful cherry blossoms. 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.
Take photos under a sky of pink, snack on Japanese foo beat a drum and watch sumo wrestling. Plus lots more, including kids activities! We have covered some family friendly attractions for you at this great local location. Expect Japanese themed gardens with ponds, tori gates and most importantly beautiful blooming sakura (cherry blossoms).
Hello, blossoA piece of Japan in the heart of Auburn. Sakura (cherry blossom ) season has arrive but you better get in quick! There are different themes and entertainment for weekends and weekdays so be sure to pick a day that’s best for you.
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. Auburn is an inner western suburb located kilometres from the central business district and has its own train station, so it is easily accessible.

VISIT KOBE JONES DURING THIS YEAR’S SAKURA CELEBRATIONS. No cherry blossom festival would be complete in Sydney without a trip to Kobe Jones. 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. During Daylight Saving: Monday to Friday 9. 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.
There is parking within the greater Auburn Botanical Gardens if you’re driving there. We were anticipating a large number of visitors so we arrived early, about 8am, just to make sure we have a parking space. This is third year at the festival for Hudson, who has notched up a mere 40-odd trips to Japan, and sees local throngs. I feel comforted that Mr Dean willing go with me (the girls I invited are busy busy in the weekend-_-).
I used to live around Auburn years ago and thought it would be a good idea to take a mate to see the cherry blossoms in Auburn Gardens last year for a nostalgia trip. Holy hell, at least this has elbow room. This will also be the 69th Anniversary of the Annual Art Show.
This year’s festival is sure to be grand as there are several new events being planned along with some fantastic music acts. It is absolutely beautiful to experience the Japanese Gardens when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Aside from the gardens themselves and the beautiful blooms there is a lot going on at the gardens relating to Japanese Culture.
