Spend a magical evening under Brooklyn Botanic Garden's famous Kanzan trees during Hanami Nights, running from Tuesday, April 22 to Friday, April 25. Bring a blanket and relax under the canopy of blooms as pink petals gently float to the ground. The cherry blossoms will be lit up for maximum effect to enjoy as the sun slowly sets.
Visitors can stroll in the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden and along Cherry Walk, try origami, and view a curated display of bonsai in the Lillian and Amy Goldman Atrium. Plus, enjoy different live music and dance performances each night, from jazz to traditional Japanese folk dancing.
If you're feeling hungry, buy a bento box, sushi, and other Japanese favorites presented by Yellow Magnolia Café in collaboration with Sunrise Mart and Saiko Sushi. As for drinks, Japanese beer and Joto Sake will be flowing.
