SAAM Cherry Blossom Family Celebration
About The Event
On Saturday, March 28 from 11:30b a.m. – 3:00 p.m., celebrate the season of cherry blossoms with Smithsonian American Art Museum (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.
