Copenhagen Cherry Blossom Festival Brings Japan to Denmark

The Copenhagen Sakura Festival is back for its 17th year, bringing the excitement of Japanese culture and the beauty of spring’s pink cherry blossoms to Langelinie Park on April 20th and 21st, 2024. Visitors to this big, fun event will be treated to a variety of cool Japanese experiences. Expect to see entertaining shows featuring drums, dancing, martial arts, and people dressing up in colourful costumes. You can also witness a real Japanese tea ceremony, where you’ll learn how to make and drink special green tea.

For those who enjoy hands-on activities, there will be people teaching the art of origami, showing you how to fold paper into neat shapes and animals. Food lovers won’t be disappointed either, as the festival will offer delicious Japanese treats like fried octopus balls, chicken on sticks, and sweet rice snacks.

The festival isn’t just about the activities and food, though.

It’s also a wonderful opportunity to stroll around the lovely park, have a picnic, and take in the sight of the beautiful cherry blossom trees. Attending the Copenhagen Sakura Festival is like taking a mini trip to Japan without ever leaving Denmark.
