A Bit of Context…
Sakura Sunday, also known as the Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia, is an annual celebration of Japanese culture during the cherry blossom season.
The Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia (JASPG) has strived to bring Japanese culture overseas to the city of brotherly love for over 25 years, according to the digital Sakura Sunday brochure.
This year, the festival served traditional Japanese food, hosted a myriad of performances, and vendors presented their goods from Apr 6th through the 14th.
