Taken from the website:

"Saturday, May 1–Sunday, May 2 | 10 a.m.–6 p.m. | Rain or Shine* | Free with Admission

Participate in New York City's "rite of spring" at Sakura Matsuri, a phenomenal weekend celebrating Japanese culture with over 60 events and performances. Enjoy contemporary and traditional Japanese music and dance, taiko drumming, ikebana flower arranging, Japanese DJs, presentations on the art of manga, tea ceremonies, and workshops for all ages."

Admission is $8.

The schedule is up and it looks like they are going to have iron cosplay!

Sunday features a cosplay fashion show.

There will be a manga library sponsored by AnimeNEXT.

There is also going to be a "High Tea" event and a Para Para dance party.

Looks like this year it's acting more like a mini-con then a festival. :3
