Cherry Blossoms and Spring in Vancouver

April 5, 2009 | Tips from Us > Vancouver, Festivals & Events

When I first moved to Vancouver one of the things that impressed me the most about the city is that there's a defining moment when you know that spring has finally arrived. Two years on, I still look forward to the time when the city literally blossoms and explodes with colour and pinkness for the first time.

Visiting Vancouver at the end of March and beginning of April is always a treat - the crocus are out, and the cherry blossoms line every street. Their arrival ushers in warmer and longer days and it somehow lifts everything. The city also holds its annual Cherry Blossom Festival too - lots of music, events and celebrations around town.

Here's a picture taken just off of Granville and 7th in Vancouver - I think it's fair to say that spring has truly sprung!
