This Saturday (4/30), come out and see Soh Daiko perform at two of New York City’s own Sakura Matsuri/Cherry Blossom Festivals! It’s peak bloom and taiko time!

Soh Daiko is opening the festival at noon at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This year marks the 35th anniversary of BBG’s annual cherry blossom festival. Known as New York City’s rite of spring, the weekend offers over 60 events and performances that celebrate traditional and contemporary Japanese culture. For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.

In the afternoon, join us at Manhattan Park Theater Club Plaza on Roosevelt Island at 4:25pm for the closing of the 5th annual Cherry Blossom Festival. Celebrate the beauty of Roosevelt Island’s spectacular cherry blossom trees with community events sponsored by the Roosevelt Island Residents Association. For more information about events throughout the day, check out the official flier.

If you can’t join us this weekend (and even if you can!), we have plenty of upcoming events that we’d love to see you at. For a list of all of our upcoming events, head over to our shows page.
