The Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival will return to Philly on Wednesday,​ running from​ April 2​-13.​ The​ ​festival will welcome spring with karaoke, sushi making classes, film showcases,​ ​discounted dinners and many more events all celebrating Japanese culture. The​ ​festival was started as an initiative to plant 1,000 cherry trees in Fairmount Park,​ ​which was accomplished in 2007. Since then, the initiative has expanded to include​ ​​​other regions in the area in the tree-planting project and over 50 events during the 4​-​​week festival.
