6 of the best places to see stunning cherry blossoms in Vancouver before they're gone

It's springtime in Canada and if you live in Vancouver then you know it's cherry blossom season.

The stunning cherry trees are hard to miss as they paint B.C. neighbourhoods light pink with their beautiful flowers.

If you haven't had much luck with finding cherry blossoms, there is a map that shows you where you can see the flowers in bloom.

Queen Elizabeth Park has several varieties of cherry trees that bloom in intervals until late April.

Stanley Park is another popular spot to see the beautiful trees near the formal rose garden and the Japanese Canadian WWI war memorial.

If you're close to Vancouver City Hall at West 12th and Cambie, take some time to check out the blossoming trees.

You'll also find the colourful trees at the Nitobe Memorial Garden, located at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

If you prefer to see them in a residential setting, you can drive along Yew Street in Vancouver's Kitsilano neighbourhood.

The 2024 Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is also underway with events happening around the city.

The Sakura Days Japan Fair celebrates all things Japan from the food to performances and the culture.

"Vancouver’s original 500 cherry trees were a gift from the mayors of Kobe and Yokohama in the 1930s, thanking the city for honouring Japanese Canadians who served in WWI," the Destination Vancouver website reads.

The event is happening on April 13 and 14, 2024 at the Vandusen Botanical Garden, which is another destination on the map for seeing the stunning cherry blossoms.
