If you are in Washington DC during the last weekend of April, the Japan-America Society holds an annual Spring Sakura Matsuri Festival. Drawing tens of thousands of attendees from all over the world, the Sakura Matsuri offers dynamic performances, authentic tastes of Japan, and a wide variety of unique street vendors.

In 1957, a group of US State Department officers got together privately with friends at the Japanese Embassy and established the Japan-America Society of Washington (JASWDC). The organization’s goal was to add a personal face to Washington’s official relationship with Japan and create a people-to-people organization.
