The Cherry Blossom Festival will be taking place on Sunday, April 2, 2023 at the Bethlehem Public Library located at 11 West Church Street, Bethlehem, PA. It was originally scheduled for Saturday, but it is being postponed due to the weather forecast..
About the event:
The festival takes place around the time our sakura (cherry blossom) trees surrounding city hall are in bloom, which historically occurs in early to mid April.
Instead of having a set date, we try to schedule the festival to coincide with the opening of the blossoms, which varies year to year with the weather.
At the festival, you can:
• Participate in a tea ceremony
• Try your hand at the ancient art of calligraphy
• Create Japanese origami
• Sample some great Japanese festival food
• Pound rice into a sweet treat with a giant wooden mallet
• Have your picture taken in a kimono or yukata
• And more!
This will be located at the Bethlehem Public Library.
