We select ambassadors through a process that allows us to understand the future court in a more personable manner and to crown individuals who are best fit to represent the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Community Events
A community event is a Cherry Blossom Festival event not produced by its own staff. Instead, it is planned and funded by another group or organization that desires to connect their event with the festival. Apply today to be a part of the 2023 Cherry Blossom Festival – The Pinkest Party on Earth!
