The Sister City Youth Art exhibition will debut at the event before moving to the library for the remainder of April. This year the festival will also include lectures and workshops for those wanting a more hands-on experience. An anime costume contest is planned as well as a variety of traditional Japanese carnival games. Prizes for the First Annual Arkansas Cherry Blossom Festival Haiku competition will be awarded with winners invited to read their haiku at the event.
