The forecast for Sunday, May 18 hadn’t been conducive to an outdoor festival featuring performing artists, demonstrations, crafts and delicious food, but the 14th Blossom Picnic unfolded instead under mostly sunny skies.
Driftwood photographer Rob Lowrie captured some of the moments in the following photos, including the first public performance by Salt Spring’s own Shimakaze Taiko drumming group.
The event is organized by the Salt Spring Japanese Garden Society and members of the island’s Japanese community.
