Brookline Cherry Blossom Festival (Sat. 5/9)

Info about a great event coming up this weekend! Check it out if you’re free and around.

Launched in 2011, The Brookline Cherry Blossom Festival (formerly named Brookline Sakura Matsuri) began with a gift of cherry trees to Brookline High School from Mr. Hikihara the Consul General of Japan.

Loud and thunderous, in addition to food, games, and music, the festival’s artistic draw is the region’s only public taiko drumming showcase featuring taiko groups throughout New England.
