It’s the first time in a few years for this festival and everyone is expected to come out and enjoy. 20,000 people are expected in this North Carolina town for the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Naturally, the festival will be held in Cherryville, North Carolina. Or as my mom used to pronounce it, Churlvull:) Because of all the warm weather the cherry trees are actually blossoming early this year and there may not be any in bloom when the festival takes place April 21 and April 22. Will that interfere with the festivities ? Not one bit.
The City of Cherryville is pulling out all the stops. This is going to be a full on small town throw down. You will be able to enjoy rides and free entertainment. There will be food and activities for everyone in the family. There is going to be a car show and arts and crafts. And of course some lovely lady will be crowned Miss Cherry Blossom, a title she will treasure for the rest of her life.
You won’t find a nicer, friendlier place than Cherryville and this sounds like a great weekend of food, fun, music and all kinds of festivities. To learn more get all the details about the Cherry Blossom Festival from the city of Cherryville right here.
