Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival to host a FREE 2-day concert in April

The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival (VCBF), one of the city’s most beloved annual events, is set to return this April.

The month-long celebration takes place from April 2 to 26, celebrating the city’s gorgeous pink cherry trees and bringing a welcome burst of pink to winter-weary Vancouverites.

Similar to previous years, the Cherry Blossom Festival will host a number of events around Vancouver, one of them being the Cherry Jam Downtown Concerts. This year, the FREE concerts have been extended to a two-day event and will take place at the Burrard SkyTrain Station.
