On April 13th, the annual Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival was held at the Franklin Park Adventure Center. Every year this festival highlights Japanese culture and the importance of the Cherry Blossom within that. Traditionally, Cherry Blossoms represent life and death, along with beauty. This celebration is widely celebrated, as they cherish the moments they have with the blossoms. They only bloom for a short while, so their beauty is meant to be captured and adored. Read ahead for a photo gallery highlighting the festival and the many booths and activities highlighted.
