Springfield Sister Cities is so disappointed to cancel this event due to the poor weather forecast. The Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden will still be open for free admission from 10am-7pm, and the Gray/Campbell Farmstead will still be open for free viewing from 1:30-4:30pm.

Celebrate spring with the Springfield Sister Cities Association. Bring a kite to fly or build one with us on the Great Lawn. Whack a piñata nearby. Enjoy Japanese and Mexican children’s crafts at the Botanical Center, and free admission to the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden as it reopens for the season.

Admission is free. Kite building kits and mini piñata building kits are $5 each.
