VOSSA JAZZ FESTIVAL
Voss is located half way between two of Norway's most famous fjords – the Hardanger fjord and the Sogne fjord – and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Between March 26 and 28, however, this idyllic little town shrugs off the natural competition and becomes one of the country's biggest attractions. This is when Voss hosts the Vossa Jazz Festival, which features 50 first-rate concerts in three days. A real treat for jazz and folk fans.

CHERRY BLOSSOM – WASHINGTON IN FULL BLOOM
Japan is not the only country that celebrates the cherry blossom festival: over the years, the large japanese population in the United States has established the festival in the New World. The largest and oldest Cherry Blossom Festival in the US takes place in the capital, where a large program of events is dedicated to the delicate pink blossom. The festival has its origins in the gift in 1912 of 3,000 cherry trees from the city of Tokyo to Washington's citizens. Ecery year, for a few weeks in the spring, the cherry blossom brings a dusting of Far Eastern magic to the city and the promenda along the banks of the Potomac.
