At the Arnold Arboretum, the cherry collection along Forest Hills Road near the ponds draws visitors to enjoy the beautiful and fragrant blooms of our remarkable collection of flowering cherries.

Enjoy the rhythms of Taiko drumming by Karen Young and KASA Taiko from 6–6:30 p.m. and learn calligraphy and Japanese games with our friends from the Showa Boston Institute.
