Upcoming Events
2026 Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is the city’s signature springtime event and the annual celebration of cherry blossoms inspired by the age-old Japanese cultural tradition of hanami (flower viewing).
Our mantra, “there is no stranger under the cherry tree,” welcomes inclusion, participation and celebration of all community groups. Through our community-building events, we want to make the arts accessible and representative of all people across all backgrounds. For the few weeks the cherry blossoms are in bloom, we strive to be united as one community where our shared connection to nature means we are all connected.

Art has a powerful way of holding our stories. This workshop invites participants to explore healing through color, texture, and shared creativity, culminating in a collaborative healing tapestry that symbolizes strength, unity, and hope.
This gathering pays tribute to the victims of the April 26, 2025 Lapu-Lapu Festival tragedy, and honors the resilient community, volunteers, and artists who continue to uplift one another in its aftermath.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or simply curious about art as healing, all are welcome. No experience required — just an open heart.
