EXPLORE

Traditional Ceremonies
Each year our festival features both demonstrations of arts such as ikebana, tea ceremony, and bonsai by masters, as well as lessons for beginners.
Music
Japanese instruments, including the 13-stringed koto, guitar-like shamisen, and taiko drums, are used to create both very traditional and distinctly modern sounds.

2026 FESTIVAL - Save the Date!

The 51st Annual Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival will be held Friday April 10, 2026 - Sunday April 12, 2026 at the Seattle Center.
Hope to see you there!
