Big Cherry Block Party

Who says «nuthin evah happn’s n Silver Spring» well have I got news for you… This past weekend brought in the annual spring celebration of DC’s own unique display of pink and white around the city and area. To help in the bringing forth of this great rite of spring is a nice Japanese inspired street festival celebrating the gift from the east.
Not nearly as large as the Sakura Matsuri Street Festival in downtown DC this little street fest still have a lot going for it with a more intimate feel. On stage they have martial arts demonstrations of Japan which scores major points with me. Other areas have karaōke and plenty of street vendors peddling their crafts. Many hand made, art, trinkets, textiles from many parts of Asia also plenty of street food there to satisfy gastronomy. Lots of arts and crafts for kids to dress the parts and participate and to have lots of fun, so good for the whole family. Best part our own Tara represented Unilocal with a cool wheel of fortune in which passersby were spinning for cool Unilocal gear. Great job working it Tara all by your self. So I give it to the organizers of this event and hope to see it back again next year. This is good business for downtown Silver Spring and surrounding businesses. Hopefully next year will be even bigger and better. I know wife and I will be there.
