MARCH 23-24, 2024

10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
We are excited to invite you to our Spring Celebration, the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival! For over 40 years, we celebrate the many generations that have shaped the wildly popular Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival. As the Conyers community has grown and changed, so has the festival, embracing our local cultural while also celebrating others. We’ve enjoyed seeing families and our community grow up with us, and we are #stillgrowing! Make plans to visit the new and exciting features this year. Shop among unique art and craft exhibitors, eat your way through the multiple food courts, enjoy cultural performances, listen to live music, and play in the children’s area.
The Cherry Blossom Festival originated as a way to encourage cultural understanding and friendship through international music, dance, games, food and crafts. The cherry blossom is a symbol of short-lived beauty in Japan, and the City of Conyers embraces this tradition as well. The blooming of the cherry trees offers a time to reflect upon our lives. Like the blooming of the trees, life is short, so you have to appreciate and embrace it.
The Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival has received many awards over the years for Best Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Festival and Events Association. It has also been selected over the years as a Top 20 Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society.
