Davis Cherry Blossom Festival

Every since March 20, it has been spring—but plants don’t usually adhere to the Gregorian calendar. Instead, they rely on changes in the temperature to know when to blossom. Point is, cherry blossoms are open, and Bakuhatsu Taiko Dan and Sudwerk Brewing Co. are celebrating that with this festival. Come celebrate the flowers, the new season, Buddha’s birthday, music, Japanese culture and more. There are two event stages featuring taiko performances, Jessica Malone and tons of other local acts. There’s also plenty of artwork, a mochi-pounding session, origami workshops and more—and the whole event benefits My Sister’s House, which supports women and children affected by domestic violence. 2001 2nd Street in Davis, davischerryblossomfestival.weebly.com.
