What Our People Have To Say

We constantly strive to curate a Festival experience special and memorable for everyone to enjoy. Here are some highlights from over the the years.

“I heard the choir sing the new cherry blossom song at Sakura Days Japan Fair and I wanted to share it with the READ-Ability Stories program – a program providing services for individuals with developmental disabilities. It was lovely and especially sweet, everyone loved it!”

Linda Jones, Surrey City Centre Library

“As a long term sponsor of the VCBF, we have been very pleased with our partnership’s success in growing our firm’s brand awareness as a result of the festival touching so many people’s lives in Vancouver every year.”

Michael Job, Vice President Leith Wheeler Investment Counsel Ltd.

“The whole idea of this event is to get us to all pause and appreciate the ethereal, ephemeral, delicate beauty of the cherry blossoms…and by so doing, to realize the importance of living in the moment and not taking life for granted.”

Steve Whysall, Vancouver Sun

Thank You, Sponsors
