Black + Gold: Sakura Concert Series – Apr 8-10

Posted by City of Philadelphia on April 5, 2022

2022 marks the limited return of in-person Cherry Blossom programming in West Fairmount Park that will celebrate both Japanese and American culture in a new format that better incorporates the local neighborhood of Parkside, West Philadelphia. Instead of a single-day festival, we will be presenting the Sakura Concert Series over three days on the weekend of April 8-10.

Free, NON-TICKETED and open to the public, this event will explore the intersections of Japanese and African American culture, from traditional to contemporary, through a range of musical performances by multi-ethnic Hip Hop, Jazz, and Percussion musicians. While the concerts themselves are not ticketed, food and drink will be available for purchase.
