IIf this is your first application in 2022, please see 2022 Festival Productions Annual Application Processing Fee listed above.
Crafters and artists that feature Japanese items, or better-quality art or craft items imported from Japan, are allowed in this event as well as traditional American arts and crafts. Booths are arranged around a small lake. Fair goers are primarily Asian. Japanese drummers and other entertainment, including a major cultural display, attract fair goers from the entire South Bay Area. You will be able to find excellent Japanese food. The Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in Memorial Park that fronts on Stevens Creek Blvd. and Mary Avenue, so the festival gets good drive-by traffic. Outdoor spaces are 10' x 10' and set up on grass and may be left up Saturday night. There is limited security on Saturday night. There is no water available on the event site, and portable generators are allowed after receiving written permission from Festival Productions at the time you apply for the event.
Applications that are not complete or the space fee has not been paid for at least 21 days before the event date will automatically be cancelled. A $25 LATE APPLICATION FEE will be assessed to reinstate any cancelled application that was not completed and paid for 21 days before the event.
