Experience all the elegance of the cherry blossom season in the final night of the Festival. This affair is black- tie optional and features fine dining and live entertainment. The 2013 edition of the Bash will also include the presentation of an award from the Japanese Foreign Ministry recognizing the Festival for boosting cross-cultural understanding.  Major program elements include:

Silent Auction

We’re excited to announce that this year we’ll be working with 501auctions to add an online component to our Silent Auction.  Items will be up for bid beginning on April 17th and will be open to all supporters of the Festival, not just Blossom Bash attendees.  The auction will include kimonos, jewelry, art, airfare, and much more.  More details to come.

Cocktail Reception

The program opens at 7:00 pm with the cocktail hour.  Guests can enjoy sushi and other hors d’oeuvres while sipping on Blossom Bash Cosmos or their preferred beverage.  Auction items will be on display and light music will set the mood.

Blossom Bash

At 8:00 pm, Blossom Bash participants will be welcomed into the ballroom by the sound of taiko drums.  An Asian-inspired dinner will be served and the program will begin in earnest.  JASGP will receive an award from the Japanese Foreign ministry and dancers from the Rock School will put their talents on display.  We hope you’ll join us for a wonderful evening.
