Essex County Park Cherry Blossom Festival at Branch Brook Park
April 11 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
With over 5,300 cherry blossom trees that burst into full bloom in April, this park is famous—first, for being the nation’s first county park and second, for having the largest collection of Japanese cherry blossom trees in the United States, rivaling the famous Washington, DC blooms. During the peak blooms, you can visit the annual Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival at Branch Brook Park from April 5-13, which features a Bike Race, Cherry Blossom 10K, Essex County Family Day, and Essex County 1 Mile Fun Run. The festival culminates on April 13 with Bloomfest! featuring live music, children’s activities, a crafter’s marketplace, food, and more.
