Japantown Sakura Festival
About This Grant
The Japantown Planning Group (with fiscal sponsor Wing Luke Museum) requests funding for our Sakura Cherry Blossom Festival, in Seattle's Japantown, with weeklong activities April 7-12 culminating with main events on Saturday, April 13. Business owners and community members in Japantown have worked together over several years to activate Japantown businesses, streets, and parks and encourage more economic and pedestrian activity to help our recovery. Last year, we held the first Sakura Festival with an invitation to spend time in the neighborhood and enjoy music performances, art installations, food and business specials, walking tours, giveaways, a photo contest, and picnics in Kobe Terrace Park during cherry blossom time. Venues such as the Danny Woo and Chiyo?s Garden, Nihonmachi Alley, KOBO at Higo, Sairen, Panama Tea House, Wing Luke Museum, and more helped attract a diverse crowd in a successful event. We hope to build on that success as we welcome in Springtime together!
