SAAM Cherry Blossom Family Celebration
Saturday, March 22, 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m.

Smithsonian American Art Museum
Kogod Courtyard
Free | Registration encouraged

Celebrate the season of cherry blossoms with SAAM! Begin the day on the F Street Plaza (weather permitting) with a taiko drumming performance by drumming group Nen Daiko. The program continues inside in the Kogod Courtyard for Japanese pop, boogie, and more with Les The DJ. Enjoy other performances while children (ages 12 and younger) 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 2025 National Cherry Blossom Festival.
