The Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival will return to Philadelphia on Wednesday, running from April 2-13. The festival will welcome spring with karaoke, sushi-making classes, film showcases, discounted dinners and more events 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 four-week festival.
