Sakura-Cherry Blossom Festival at Van Dusen Gardens

April 10, 2016

So many activities around Vancouver when Cherry Blossoms are out! The two day Cherry Blossom Festival, at Van Dusen Gardens, is always a visual feast and an invitation to participate in a celebration of blossoms, music, dance, fashion and Japan, here in the city.

There are no strangers here; we are all Sakura friends. I wore a vintage Kimono accessorized by
Carolyn Bruce Designs. She made a Japanese themed collection: Necklace, earrings, ring and handbag. So unique and eye catching that everyone who saw them, had to try them on.
The focus of my Sunday was to see Tomoe Arts Dance Students, Beginners to Advanced levels, in costume, on the stage. Colleen Lanki, Director of Tomoe Arts, is herself, a Master Dancer and Teacher and expertly introduced each dancer and the story behind each dance. The audience was captivated! A few little children danced along on the grass. Huge thanks Colleen Lanki and Tomoe Arts Dancers! A wonderful start to the day!

Please consider attending the Tomoe Arts Summer Patio Party, June 5th- 2:00-5:00. Guu Garden Izakaya 888 Nelson Street (Upstairs) Tickets at www.tomoearts.org.
