Part ll - Cherry Blossom Festival

 Today for part two of the Cherry Blossom Festival, I will show the large building projections and the floats.

Building Projections:






Now on to the floats:





My last post about the festival will be the student art and nighttime Pink Tie Ball.

I'm still amazed that they are doing that. I don't like crowds, so I would rather watch it on TV. Thank you so much for telling us about it. ❤️

Those building projections are really cool. The floats are very impressive. This looks like it's right up there with the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.

looks like everything was bathed in Pepto Bismol. ha ha. those projections are amazing and beautiful.. what a super parade. I had no idea they do this, like Ann said, is as good as Macy's Christmas parade...

So much pink! The floats are always incredible.

Goodness...those floats are quite dazzling. And....the projections onto the buildings are so neat. Pink is everywhere. Expressions of the color pink are "Tickled Pink" and "Everything is Rosy". Happiness is what I relate pink to.

I wonder if in Japan the kids do start in spring???
That is absolutely lovely. I didn't know it was quite the big deal as it is!

In Japantown in San Francisco, they used to have big festivities, and the cherry trees were blossoming.

Wow, there is a lot of pink!

Great pictures.
I've never heard about this parade, and as I commented on your previous post, I never knew that cherry blossoms bloomed in June either.
