From March 27^th to April 11^th the festivities take place, starting with the family day on March 27^th to open the fun. Throughout the 2 weeks there will be a gala dinner cruise, cultural performances, Japanese street festival, a parade and much, much more.

This year the predicted peak bloom period will be between April 3^rd and April 8^th, handily, this gives you enough time to enjoy the blossom after the real main event. The Fireworks!

The fireworks display will be on the 3^rd of April and takes place on he Southwest waterfront. The 4^th of April has a lantern lighting ceremony to light the sky in a much quieter style.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that coordinates, produces, and supports creative and diverse activities promoting traditional and contemporary arts and culture, natural beauty and the environment, and community spirit and youth education.

Whether you love the arts or explosives, both come together Friday, December 11 at the East Terrace of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

No, they’re not blowing up the museum, but international famed artist Cai Guo-Qiang will launch a flower — made from gunpowder –into the skies of Philadelphia at around sunset.

The purpose of the explosion is to honour the memories of our cherished friends, neighbours and family members that have passed. Through the eruption, beauty will light up the sky, celebrating life and its gift to us all.

Known for his elaborate displays, Cai Guo-Qiang brings a new meaning to the word eccentric. This blast is part of Guo-Qiang’s Fallen Blossoms exhibit that will be on display through March at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

A series of gunpowder drawings, entitled Light Passage, will demonstrate time’s passing and the role that memory and memorials play in the past.

This is one of the most spectacular explosion that will illuminate the sky, but not for entertainment but to be seen with awe and amazement of what it really represents. Great work Cai!!!
