Weekend Events for the Whole Family in Berlin, April 13- 15th



Cherry Blossom Festival 

The Gardens of the World in Marzahn have reopened and now feature parts of last year's International Gardening Exhibition. Now there is also an entrance from the Kienberg U5 Station, which makes it much easier to get there. 

The Cherry Blossom Festival ( Kirschblütenfest ) celebrates the blossom in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean gardens. Obviously, fans of those cultures will especially enjoy (those who come in Cosplay pay reduced admission), but the beautiful gardens with their new and old attractions certainly speak volumes. 

Sunday, April 15th, 12:00 - 5:00
