Celebrate the season of cherry blossoms with the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) on Saturday, March 23, 2024, 11:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. 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 (12 and under) make cherry-blossom themed crafts. Face painting is available for attendees ages 12 and younger. Treat yourself with tasty offerings 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 2024 National Cherry Blossom Festival.
Registration helps plan for supplies and staffing support. Entry is first come, first serve. Crafts and face painting are while supplies last. The line to face painting closes at 2:30 p.m.
