Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival in Newark, NJ (April 9 – 24)  With more cherry blossoms than Washington, D.C., the city of Newark doesn’t limit itself to celebrating cherry blossoms for one day, or even seven days. The festival is spaced out throughout three weeks in April, starting with cyclists participating in the Cherry Blossom Challenge Bike Race and ending with Bloomfest—the most popular event celebrating Japanese culture through live music, marketplace shopping, and traditional food fare.
