Tag: Cherry Blossom Festival

For most north-eastern Americans, a tell-tale sign that spring has arrived is the annual blooming of the cherry blossom trees in Washington DC. This year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which has both virtual and in-person events will be held from March 20th to April 17th. Although the festival goes on for four weeks, March 22nd to 25th have been predicted by the National Park Service (NPS) as the peak bloom dates. Meaning about 70% of the pretty pink flowers will be open, these dates are a bit earlier than the average peak date, April 4th.
