We appreciate your interest in the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival Arts & Crafts fair. If you are still interested in participating in the festival, check to see if the Sakura 360 area is right for you – information is at the bottom of this page. Otherwise, we hope that you can come to the festival to enjoy all that it has to offer!
NOTE: The Arts & Crafts Fair is different from the Sakura 360 area of the festival, and is managed by a separate committee. Sakura 360 is representative of all things in Japanese Pop Culture. They are home to: Japanese Animation, Street Fashion, Video Games, Manga, and more! Please scroll down for more information on how to apply for Sakura 360 if you feel that your products would be better suited to this area of the festival.
