About

The Hot Springs National Park Sister City Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of the Arkansas Cherry Blossom Festival. Festivalgoers will be mesmerized by live musical performances, including the powerful rhythms of taiko drumming by St. Louis Osuwa Taiko. Known for their energetic and immersive performances, they will take the stage at the festival and also perform at the Sumo Competition on April 11, with a final appearance at SakeFest following the festival.

The Arkansas Cherry Blossom Festival is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the traditions and artistry of Japan through music, dance, and hands-on participation. Whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or discovering Japanese culture for the first time, this festival promises an engaging and unforgettable experience for all.
