Much like the blossoms we celebrate, the 2013 Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival has come and gone in a flurry of beauty and activity. It's truly been a banner year for the Festival. We had the cooperation of so many wonderful people and even mother nature this year.
At 7pm this Friday, April 26th, we hope you’ll have your best Bash attire ready, because that’s when the Hyatt at the Bellevue ballroom will officially open for this year’s Blossom Bash. Entertainment (taiko drums will welcome you in), refreshment (cocktails and sushi hors d'oeuvres), and good company will be waiting for you. Read on for an exciting announcement about our silent auction.
Now that we've had a week of beautiful blossoms and a weekend full of activities and performances, it's time to start the annual Sakura Snapshots Contest. If you think you've got a great photo, whether its of the blossoms, pets, cosplay, performers or anything else from Sakura Sunday, we want to see it.
Update: This year's contest is closed and the winners have been chosen! Congratulations to our winners in both categories! Visit our Facebook page to see the winning photos.
Part scavenger hunt, part social media addiction the Sakura Sunday twitter challenge is something new we've cooked up for 2013. Beginning at 10:30 am on Sakura Sunday, we'll be issuing challenges via our twitter account - @phillysakura. It could be something as simple as "tweet a close up of a cherry blossom" or it could be something that requires a group effort. New challenges will come out every 15-30 minutes.
By now you've already downloaded our Sakura Sunday app onto your smart phone and ordered your Sakura Sunday t-shirt, so you might be wondering, "What else can I do to prepare for Sakura Sunday?" Well, now you can download the official program for this Sunday, April 14 at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center!
