Cherry blossoms are a traditional cultural symbol for beauty and the transience of life, because they bloom for such a short time and then blow away. Their blooming coincides with the start of a new school year and corporate turnover, so spring is a new beginning. It's a time to celebrate beauty and change. There are groves and groves of bushy light pink trees, and it's lovely to sit under them and drink and talk and just enjoy the sight.

Japanese Cherry Blossom Festivals (sakura matsuri) and other forms of hanami (flower-viewing parties) are held whenever the sakura trees are blooming. This occurs over several weeks usually between mid-March to the beginning of May in mainland Japan and North America depending upon the local climate. For example, the 2012 International Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, Georgia will be held between March 16-25, while most of the trees in Vancover, Canada bloom from mid-April and early May.

They celebrate it because it's a way of coming together with the family and enjoying the beautiful scenery. More importantly, cherry blossoms in Japan symbolize the journey from life to death.

In terms of 'hanami,' (flower viewing), activities include picnicking in parks near the cherry trees. During cherry blossom season, it is typical for Japanese people to lay out blue tarps near the trees, and eat and drink sake with friends.

Some areas have their own 'matsuri,' (festivals) which usually include dancing, special "floats," food vendors, games, as well as the normal activities of 'hanami.'

Families have picnics together under the cherry blossom trees and everyone gets a day off work. Sounds good to me.
