Event details

For one bright Sunday, Newark’s Branch Brook Park turns into a spring postcard. Bloomfest is the signature day of Essex County’s Cherry Blossom Festival, timed for peak petals and easy wandering along Branch Brook Lake.

Pack a picnic blanket, arrive early for the best photos, and let kids bounce between music, food vendors, and open green space. It’s an urban nature escape with a true festival feel, and it pairs nicely with a stroll through the park’s historic bridges and lakeside paths.
