Around this time of year, Buffalonians start to notice the many signs of spring. You wake up to the birds chirping in the morning and watch as the snow begins to melt. Out of all the things that make up this magnificent season, there’s no better sign that spring has sprung than by the celebration of one of Buffalo’s most unique and breathtaking festivals.
Each spring, Delaware Park comes to life - not only with beautiful blooms, but also with the excitement of the Buffalo Cherry Blossom Festival.
