It has been an annual tradition to visit San Francisco’s Cherry Blossom Festival. The blooming cherry blossoms somehow always bring a sense of peace and beauty…

The festive parade marching through the streets of Japantown:




Not really sure what to say…except Japanese culture never stops to surprise me!

This year’s Cherry Blossom Queen!


Taiko drums keeping the energy in the crowd!


Rest of the parade:

Best seat on the street!

The Sakura Popcorn stand….a Japanese twist to the popcorn!

Until next year!!!
