TORRANCE, Calif. -- Cherry blossoms are often seen as a symbol of renewal and the city of Torrance plans to join in the celebration with its annual Cherry Blossom Festival.

This will be the city of Torrance's ninth year hosting the Festival. It's back after a 2-year absence due to the start of the pandemic. Mayor Pat Furey said Torrance held its first Cherry Blossom Festival in 2011 after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and it was a great way to bring the community together and offer some comfort."This brings everybody out to celebrate our diversity and to celebrate our togetherness," Furey said.
