Cherry Blossom Festival

Sharing is caring!

Cherry Blossom

Spring is a wonderful time of year, which is simply impossible not to love. We know the approach of spring by the many changes in nature. At night it is still frosty, but during the day it is so warm that you want to take off the boring hats and scarves that you wore during the long winter. The day becomes longer, and in the morning, we wake up because the sun peeps through the window. The animation is noticeable in everything: more and more sunny days, the sky is bluer and brighter and even the birds sing louder. 

Cherry blossoms are the main sign of spring. This phenomenon is repeated from year to year, but always excites and fascinates everyone. It becomes very beautiful when the cherry blossoms begin to bloom into pinkish flowers and the green leaves on the trees are almost invisible. Taking English courses in Vancouver will give you the opportunity to enjoy such fragrance and beauty all around. The Cherry Blossom Festival is held annually from April 4 to April 28 it is one of the largest spring celebrations. The festival lasts about 3 weeks, and during this time, interesting events happen around the city.
