Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival Mar. 26, 2025

One day, the trees are bare. The next, the city is bursting with pink and white. Suddenly, everyone is outside—phones in hand, snapping away. That"s the magic of cherry blossom season in Vancouver. With thousands of cherry trees in full bloom, it"s the perfect excuse to slow down and soak it all in. The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, which began in 2006, is the city"s way of celebrating this fleeting beauty with art, music and community events. Whether it"s the Big Picnic at Queen Elizabeth Park, guided blossom walks or live performances under the trees, there"s something for everyone.
