By the way, the SEPOS show just happens to overlap with the Cherry Blossom Festival:

Visit Japan Without Leaving Philly
For centuries, Japan has celebrated the return of spring with ohanami - parties beneath the blossoming cherry trees with food drink and entertainment. Now you can experience this delightful tradition without days of arduous travel. A project of the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia, the Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival is a celebration not only of these beautiful blossoms, but of Japanese music, art, food, and culture.
The celebration spans a few weeks each April and is made up of wide ranging events. From demonstrations of martial arts and ikebana flower arranging to our restaurant week - Dine Out Japan - to live musical and dance performances, the Festival presents traditional and contemporary Japanese culture to Philadelphia and its visitors.
Our main day of celebration, Sakura Sunday is held at the Horticulture Center in Fairmount Park and features two stages of performers, arts & crafts, Little Akiba, tours of Shofuso, and much much more . Other major events include Japanese Culture Week and the Cherry Blossom 5K. For more details and events, check our calendar.
