From April 5-13, Branch Brook Park in Newark will again host its spring festival under pink petals to celebrate the Essex County Park System and its beloved collection of cherry trees.
The week’s events include the Cherry Blossom 10K run on April 6, the children’s Fun Run/Walk on April 12 and special trolley tours throughout the park.
The celebration culminates on April 13 with Bloomfest, a free outdoor family-fun day from 11 am to 5 pm, including live music, food vendors, children’s activities, a crafter’s marketplace and Japanese cultural demonstrations.
