Spring is just around the corner, I hope... so check out Branchbrook Park in Newark, NJ. It has one of the largest collection of cherry blossom trees, more than Washington, DC.
On April 17th is the Branch Brook Park Cherry Blossom Festival Bloomfest, there will be all kinds of activities, vendors and Japanese cultural events.

Please keep me posted on this! I love cherry blossoms. I am available Saturday, April 16th or Sunday, April 17th. I hope we can organize something for one of those days. If it is Saturday, early will be better. I'm attending the NJYP "Spring Fling" dance party at 8pm that night.
Perhaps we can all get lunch locally or do Sunday brunch before.
Sunday sounds great! I just checked the site. It is free admission that day from 11-5. Most of the activities take place around the "Essex County Cherry Blossom Welcome Center." That sounds like a good place to meet if we go straight there.
The Cherry Blossom are beautiful. I went to the park before and I saw all this beautiful trees, but i didn't know about the festival and the activities. I will try to go on Sunday 17th, but the best day for me will be the 16th.

I think parking will be a problem, so I'm considering parking at NJIT near Warren Street station and taking the Newark Light Rail to the park.
I don't believe I've ever taken the light rail. It looks like Sunday, April 17th is the consensus? What time and location would everyone like to meet? I wouldn't mind being there at 11 to get a head start on the activities.
