Sakura Matsuri In Full Bloom Over Weekend Festival

Coming this weekend, Saturday 23 September from 10am to 4pm Cowra will celebrate Sakura Matsuri. The annual Sakura Matsuri festival showcases Japanese culture through a range of activities and demonstrations.

With Bonsai workshops, Taiko drummers, sumo wrestlers, Japanese archery and sword demonstrations, origami, martial arts, singers, dancers, choir, kimono fashion parade, ikebana, tea ceremonies and MORE!

Stall holders will have a range of food and goods on offer, and there will be activities for children. It is a day for all the family to enjoy.

The event organisers expect around 2500 people to attend the festival, hoping to match the numbers seen pre-covid. A variety of local community groups will be on hand to help the day run smoothly.

The Garden is usually a dog-friendly environment, but Sakura Matsuri is our busiest day of the year and we are expecting considerable levels of noise and visitors of all ages. Please consider whether your pet would be happier at home.

With no better time to see the Japanese Gardens than in Spring, the Sakura Matsuri Festival is the perfect way to spend a weekend out with family and friends.
