The Gardens of Venaria Reale are preparing to transform into a riot of colors and scents with the beginning of the blossoming of cherry, pear and apple trees. Building on the great success of the All’ ombra dei ciliegi in fiore 2025 edition, which recorded more than 105,000 admissions in just two weeks to admire the spectacle of the cherry trees in full bloom, the Reggia is celebrating the return of the delicate pink petals again this year with a calendar of events, scheduled indicatively from March 21 to April 6.
The public will be able to participate in numerous initiatives dedicated to nature, music, entertainment and conviviality, with an absolute novelty: An evening under the cherry blossoms, which will include extraordinary evening openings for a never-before-seen experience. In addition, in collaboration with the MAO - Museum of Oriental Art in Turin, on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22 there will be events inspired by Japanese cultural tradition, reinterpreted in a contemporary key and set in the Gardens of the Reggia.
On the occasion of this spectacular blossoming, the Gardens will also be exceptionally open on Mondays, the traditional closing day, and every evening from 7 to 11 p.m., thanks to special evening openings. Visitors will thus be able to see one hundred blossoming trees illuminated by as many points of light, which will create an enchanted atmosphere inspired by the evocative yozakura of Japan’s famous hanami, the ancient and romantic tradition of nightly observation of flowering cherry trees.
The extension of opening hours until 11 p.m. will offer the public an opportunity to experience unforgettable moments immersed in the “pink clouds,” accompanied by the light of day, the warm tones of sunset, the hues of twilight and finally the silent intimacy of night.
Given the large number of visitors expected, admissions to the event will be limited and reservations are required.
