Waimea Cherry Blossom Heritage Festival

Waimea Cherry Blossom Heritage Festival

There are only a few places in Hawaii that experience enough seasonal temperature change to cause an annual bloom. The town of Waimea is one of them. Every year, the cherry trees color the town with their bright pink and white blossoms to mark the beginning of spring.

The Waimea Cherry Blossom Heritage Festival has been celebrated for over two decades to honor the historic trees and celebrate the cultural diversity that has made the islands what they are today. This year, the festival is scheduled to take place on February 1st from 9am to 3pm in downtown Waimea.
