2007 Cherry Blossom Festival
Our little town of Belleville shares a (rather large) park with the city of Newark. In Branch Brook Park, there’s a huge amount of Japanese cherry blossom trees, and we here in Belleville consider ourselves the “Cherry Blossom Capital of America.”
Every year there is a spring celebration of the Cherry Blossoms in Branch Brook Park, with events spanning many days. The library used to be present at the Sunday Cherry Blossom Festival event every year, and I am pleased to announce that we will be returning to the Cherry Blossom Festival this year. Check out our table on Sunday April 22nd, and enjoy the cherry blossom trees! We will have a selection of library materials celebrating Japanese-American culture at our table, and I’ll be there the whole day to chat with you and enjoy the trees as well. I hope to see you there.
