Washington, DC, National Cherry Blossom Festival
In 1912, 3,000 cherry trees were gifted to Washington, D.C. by the city of Tokyo Japan, and planted along the Washington Tidal Basin.
Ever since, crowds have journeyed to Washington to see the spring flowering display, which has grown over the years. This year 1.5 million visitors are expected between March 20 – April 12th, with April 4th expected to be the peak bloom day. Gather all the celebration information from the information center at Union Station and take in all the events including Ranger Guided Tours, Tidal Basin Boat Tours, floral design classes, ArtJamz picture painting, and live music performances at the Tidal Basin. You’ll find specially designed Cherry Blossom Packages at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City, Embassy Row Hotel.
