Sakura Days Japan Fair 2025 Wraps up with 14,000+ visitors and Unwavering Community Spirit

Vancouver, BC — Sakura Days Japan Fair 2025 has wrapped up another successful year, welcoming over 14,000 visitors over two vibrant days at VanDusen Botanical Garden. Once again, Vancouver was transformed by the sights, sounds, and spirit of Japan.

From traditional performances and hands-on cultural workshops to delicious Japanese cuisine and curated artisan markets, the festival offered a rich and immersive celebration of Japanese culture. 

We extend our deepest appreciation to all the performers, vendors, volunteers, sponsors, and attendees—your energy, dedication, and support are the heart of this event.

Sakura Days Japan Fair is more than just a festival. It is a gathering that connects cultures, businesses, generations, and communities. As we celebrate this year’s success, we are already dreaming up new ideas for 2026 with excitement and anticipation.

We can’t wait to see you again next year!
