Blooming Now - Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival

January 14, 2021. We’re back! We’re a little over-excited to see our ‘Autumnalis Rosea’ trees in full bloom. It takes an over-excited imagination to regard these as being in full bloom, but the flowers are much smaller than this image would suggest, so they never really do a good splash of colour.

You can look for all our cherry cultivar locations on the festival map.

Blossom photos that have been featured here and on the festival blog are being collected in our Blossoms Photo Gallery (you can navigate to it from the About pages). Photo names have the date, location, cultivar and photographer name. The Photo Gallery page also has albums of Favourite Streets and Parks, photos that have appeared on this Blooming Now page from this and previous years.

Festival Favourites in bloom

Some of our festival favourite photo-op locations were shown here with current year photos. Red markers on our festival map show all our favourite locations. Have a look at what our scouts have posted in our Neighbourhood Blogs. Although the ‘Autumnalis Rosea’ cherries are in bloom now, none of these trees can be said to provide a good photo-op, so they are not designated as festival favourites. When we talk about Festival Favourites, we mean you will be happy you made the trip to see them to photograph them.
