April 2025 – Vanier Park
April 12, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Hanami in Japan refers to the practice of viewing flowers, particularly cherry blossoms. During this time, groups gather under cherry blossom trees to enjoy each other’s company and appreciate the beauty of the flowers. When the petals gently fall to the ground, this phenomenon is poetically referred to as “snow.”
Vancouver is home to a wide variety of cherry trees, and to celebrate the arrival of spring, we will come together under the pink blossoms and experience the soft petals falling around us. We have scheduled this sit for the same weekend as Sakura Days, so if you want more time amongst the blooms, you can attend the festivities on the same day.
Details:
- Sat., April 12th, 2:00 pm.
- Vanier Park, 1100 Chestnut St, Vancouver, BC V6J 5E5. Meet in front of The Crab
- We sit rain or shine, so dress appropriately.
- If you don’t want to sit on the ground, consider bringing something to sit on, such as a pad or tarp.
- Bring a friend or come solo—the important thing is that you show up for yourself.
