Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival




"The annual Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is a popular tradition in our city, bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate the quintessential symbol of spring. As we prepare for Vancouver's 125th anniversary, please join me in congratulating the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival on this year's celebration and the 3,000 new flowering Birthday Blossom cherry trees being made available to property owners throughout the city.These commemorative trees will serve as a legacy for Vancouver's residents and visitors to enjoy for the next 125 years."

-Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson

Celebrate the coming of Spring in Vancouver by taking in the sights and sounds of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. The troubles of the world should be left behind as you explore our beautiful city with your girlfriend or boyfriend. Spring is a time of transition, a time of optimism, of hope. Rebirth and rejuvenation come to mind, with longer days of sunny skies ahead, we embrace the future in a positive way.

I will attempt to enjoy the city as I move today, with the Whitecaps game on TEAM 1410 Radio, my beautiful girlfriend by my side and the sun blessing me with its warmth and vitamin d.
