The third Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival will open at the Kampos Sakura Park in Cyprus on Saturday, April 18. The event begins at 11:00 and invites residents to see the cherry blossoms and participate in a cultural program.

Visitors will be offered to try on a traditional Japanese festive happi coat, displayed by the embassy for demonstration. Live musical performances are also planned by Eleni Hadjiafxenti and Nicos Evangelou, a children's caricature session with Sotos Voskarides, and a demonstration of traditional pumpkin decoration with Giannakis Ioannou.
