Why travel to Japan for cherry blossoms when we can admire it in the comfort of our garden city?

Come 9 March, Gardens by the Bay's Sakura Matsuri Festival will transform its Flower Dome into sakura heaven with over 30 varieties of cherry blossoms and spectacular Japanese cultural performances. Sakura Matsuri, which means "cherry blossom festival" will be welcoming visitors until 31 March.
