SAAM Cherry Blossom Family Celebration

Celebrate the season of cherry blossoms with SAAM! The program begins on the F Street Plaza (weather permitting) with a taiko performance by drumming group Nen Daiko. Activities continue inside in the Kogod Courtyard with the live vinyl DJ stylings of Les the DJ, a ballet showcase by Misako Ballet Company, and a Japanese model train display from Japan Rail Modelers of Washington DC. Children (ages 12 and younger) are invited to make cherry-blossom themed crafts. Seasonal treats will be available for purchase from the Courtyard Café. A spring-themed scavenger hunt through SAAM’s galleries extends the cherry blossom fun.

This program is part of the 2026 National Cherry Blossom Festival.
