HUNTINGTON BEACH — The sex 'indian boys x-videofifth annual Huntington Beach Cherry Blossom Festival will be held on Sunday, March 18, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Huntington Beach Central Park Bandstand, 7111 Talbert Ave. (behind the Huntington Beach Central Library).
The event is presented by the local Sister City Association in celebration of Huntington Beach’s Japanese sister city, Anjo in Aichi Prefecture. The relationship was initiated in 1982 and was officially incorporated in 1992.
In 2013, the Huntington Beach Cherry Blossom Festival was created by one of the student ambassadors as her Girl Scout Gold Award project after realizing the program was in jeopardy due to lack of funding. The festival features Japanese dance, music, cultural exhibits, arts, crafts and games, and has become known for its delicious Japanese food offerings.
