🌸 TICKET RELEASE ALERT 🌸

This September, Cowra once again transforms into a spectacular celebration of cherry blossoms, Japanese culture, and peace and reconciliation at Sakura Matsuri- Cherry Blossom Festival 2026.

For one incredible day, the breathtaking Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre comes alive with incredible Japanese culture, amazing food, live entertainment, and cherry blossoms lighting up Cowra in peak spring colour.

A festival shaped by the extraordinary friendship formed between Cowra and Japan following the 1944 Cowra POW Breakout, a powerful reminder that even from conflict can come respect, friendship, and lasting peace. It’s a story that feels more meaningful than ever, and one that stays with you long after you leave.
