A whole week of parties, food events and theater celebrates not only Japan’s traditions but also the jaw-dropping cherry blossom trees in Fairmount Park. Timed around when the trees are expected to be at full bloom, the hoopla is anchored by two major events: the Cherry Blossom 10K on April 14, which takes runners on a scenic loop through Fairmount Park, and Sunday Sakura, a daylong bash on April 15 that features traditional drum circles, live music, dancing, fashion shows and karaoke.
