Sakura Matsuri in DC, April 9th!

Anyone else going? I'm going with a school trip.
It's the annual cherry blossom viewing (on a date they are predicted to bloom most during), as well as a Japanese cultural celebration in the style of a typical "matsuri" or street festival.

Never been before, but looks to be quite fun!

A friend of mine attended this event a couple of years ago and offered me to come with him. Wish I had taken him up on that opportunity now. I wish I could go. Even before being a "weeaboo" I always loved Sakura trees.

Well it was great! But stupidly the actual festival was held nowhere NEAR the famed trees.
That made me sad.

I went this year with my sister and cousin. It's the first year I've been to the place when I had money. I knew about this but never really looked into it till last year when I walked into the place by mistake.
I couldn't believe the food they had, seriously, I finally got to eat Taiyaki for the first time. Oh man just thinking about all the food they had was great. The music they were playing was good too and the booths were really intesting, but there was of course a lot about the earthquake and tsunami donations. I donated about 20 dollars to it. Was in there for a few hours. Too bad I didn't know about this thread before or I would have posted earlier.

Ha, that's okay.
Yeah, I tried takiyaki too for the first time. I liked the waffle part, but the bean was a little much for me to eat the whole serving!
I did try sake, and really enjoyed it :D

After I finished the first one I wanted another one and it kept getting better the more I had. It was kind of weird to me. I didn't really try sake this time around. Couldn't really since I had my sister with me (she's underage) but I have had sake before at Disney World. The Street Festival has always been in the streets away from the trees but the trees were already past their peak by the time it started. I went on Friday the week before to see the trees while they were still in bloom.
