As much as we enjoy the winter season here in Buffalo, there are plenty of exciting things that come along with the springtime that leave us especially longing for the season. While you'll find all sorts of signs popping up around the city that indicate that this vibrant season is on the way, there's one in particular that will make you feel as though you've been transported to somewhere other than Queen City: The Cherry Blossom Festival! So pack your bags and head to Buffalo for this incredible, once-a-year experience.

Coming to the city toward the end of April, the Cherry Blossom Festival is one of the most breathtaking festivals that you'll ever experience here in Buffalo.

It's a magical time in the city when you feel transported to a completely different land.

The free Cherry Blossom Festival takes over Buffalo's Japanese Garden in Delaware Park.

Bring all your family and friends to this special yearly gathering.

You'll find people from Buffalo and beyond making their way out to our city to attend this amazing event.

It's a picture-perfect spring moment in this city.

This is one event that the entire family can enjoy, so you'll find that there's something fun for everyone here - aside from just the beautiful sight of being surrounded by so many cherry blossoms.

Get a little fresh air and view the most beautiful blooms Buffalo sees all year.

If you've never attended the festival, we'll be the first to tell you that you'll want to bring your camera with you to capture all of the amazing sights.

At every turn, there's another amazing view to take in.

Throughout the festival, you'll find all sorts of happenings going on that celebrate Japanese culture and longtime traditions that you may not be familiar with.

It's a great learning experience and a way to expose children to new cultures, without the airfare to Japan.

You can even enjoy boat rides out on the lake while you're attending the festival.

Everything truly feels like you're living in a painting during this Buffalo spring experience.

As one of the country's best springtime festivals, you won't want to miss out on attending this year's scenic event.
