MetroCelebrate the season of cherry blossoms with SAAM! The day begins on the Museum’s 8th and F Street Plaza (weather permitting) with a taiko performance by drumming group Nen Daiko. Activities continue inside in the Kogod Courtyard with the live vinyl DJ stylings of Les the DJ, a ballet showcase by Misako Ballet Company, and a Japanese model train display from Japan Rail Modelers DC. Children (ages 12 and younger) are invited to make cherry-blossom themed crafts. Seasonal treats will be available for purchase from the Courtyard Café. A spring-themed scavenger hunt through SAAM’s art galleries extends the cherry blossom fun. This program is part of the 2026 National Cherry Blossom Festival. Click here for more info on event.
