 <h4>SAKURA PICNIC is QAY's annual potluck picnic party to celebrate spring with beautiful cherry blossoms (Sakura) at High Park. Let’s have a nice outdoor day with fun games\, live music\, and photo shooting. Bring your friends or partner\, something to sit on and something to share with others.</h4>
 <h4>
 This event is inspired by the tradition called Hanami in Japan. Hanami is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers\, &quot\;flower&quot\; in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms (Sakura). In modern-day Japan\, Hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the cherry blossoms (Sakura) during daytime or at night.</h4>
