Sakura Sunday 2009

On April 5, 2009, an estimated 40,000 Philadelphians celebrated the return of spring at what may have been the most successful Sakura Sunday in the history of the Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia. With beautiful weather and (almost) all the trees in bloom, guests reveled beneath the blossoms enjoying Japanese food, music, dance, and various other activities throughout the day. Look below for photos of the trees, the tree planting ceremony with Mayor Nutter, Swarthmore Taiko Drum & Dance, Martial Arts Demonstrations, a live concert by Japanese visual-kei band, and more.
