What is Yozakura?


"Yozakura" is a cool word from Japan! ๐ŸŒธ It means "night sakura" or "nighttime cherry blossoms." Imagine ๐ŸŒ™โœจ



People in Japan love this, especially during cherry blossom season. They have special events where they light up the cherry blossoms at night. It's like a big party with lots of lights and fun! ๐ŸŽ‰


Why in Salem, OR?


Salem ๐Ÿ’ has loved cherry blossoms ๐Ÿ’ since a long time ago! Back in 1903, they had their first Cherry Festival ๐ŸŽ‰. Four years later, in 1907, Salem got the cool nickname "Cherry City" ๐ŸŒธ. People really liked cherries there!



There was a group called the "Cherrians" who wanted to have a big Blossom Day every year ๐ŸŒธ. They tried in 1913, but it didn't work out.



But don't worry! In 2015, they brought it back! Now, every year, Salem has a big party to celebrate cherry blossoms ๐Ÿฅณ. It's a fun time for everyone!
