    The parade began at the Civic Center at 1:00 p.m., proceeded up Polk to Post Street, and ended in Japantown. A number of performers from Japan also graced us with their presence. Japanese classical (Buyo) and folk dance (Minyo) groups representing the Bay Area performed throughout the parade route like a myriad of floating butterflies.

    Highly honored Boy Scout Troops from the Japanese American communities marched proudly along the streets. Streams of colorful floats carried by young women representing Japanese American and other Asian American communities.

    World renowned San Francisco Taiko Dojo kept the parade upbeat with the thundering sound of the taiko, and this years Queen and her Court cascaded their way to Japantown.

    జపాను దేశానికి చెందిన చెర్రీ పూలు పూయు/వికసించు పండుగ/ఉత్సవం శాన్ ఫ్రాన్సిస్కో మహా నగరంలో అధ్బుతంగా జరిగింది. ఆ సందర్భంగా గొప్ప ఊరేగింపు(క్రమ విన్యాసము) జరిగింది. రంగు రంగుల దుస్తులతో పిల్లలు పెద్దలు జపాను సాంప్రదాయ పద్ధతిలొ ఎలా అలరించారో మీరే చూడండి.

    Anchoring the parade was the exciting Taru Mikoshi, that hoisted by over one hundred strong individuals from throughout the Bay Area. It was a spectacle not to be missed.

    The Grand Marshal for 2015 is Ambassador John V Roos. John was the US Ambassador to Japan from August 2009 – August 2013.
