Every year since 1997, The Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival has gathered thousands of people together to celebrate Japanese culture in Philadelphia. One of many similar celebrations that take place around the country in cities like Washington, DC and Seattle, WA, this gathering consists of a number of events inspired by Japanese cultural and artistic traditions. The festival also celebrates a local collection of cherry blossom trees once gifted from the nation of Japan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia first added cherry blossom trees to its collection of beautiful attractions in 1926, when Japan sent 1,600 trees over as a sign of good will between the two nations. Later on, the Japan American Society of Greater Philadelphia\u2014the organization behind The Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival\u2014pledged to echo the sesquicentennial gift, and in 2007 did so by planting 1,000 more cherry blossom trees in Fairmount Park.
