Branch Brook Park Cherry Blossom Festival

Branch Brook Park is distinguished by being the first county park to be opened for public use in the United States . It has been placed on both the New Jersey (1980) and National (1981) Registers of Historic Places. More than 2,000 cherry trees blossom during April. The park was named after a branch that flowed through the valley into the Passaic River. The park was originally intended to remain for passive recreation.
Branch Brook Park Cherry Blossom Festival was held on April 17th at Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey.
Everyone enjoyed the Japanese performance and exhibits for this annual Hanami. Japanese Classical Dances and Music were performed by Tomofuji Dance Troup. One of their performer was an American 16 year old high school student. He was intrigued by japanese culture and started to participate since he was in 2nd grade.
