Cherry blossom trees in Vancouver

Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival

We know spring is in the air when the pleasing pink cherry blossoms take over the streets of Vancouver. Running from April 1 until April 23, the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is officially underway. Locals and tourists can take in the trees in their full bloom in a variety of ways. The festival offers initiatives such as Bike the Blossoms, which enables people of all ages to cycle along a carefully planned route to view the cherry blossoms. The Tree Talks and Walks is a guided walking tour and The Big Picnic, held today, is a gathering celebrating friendship under the cherry tree. The event will feature a Haiku installation with Vancouver’s three Host Nations of Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, and Squamish.
