National Cherry Blossom Festival 2018

Each year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to the DC area. The festival is typically timed to coincide with peek bloom, although weather can sometimes wreak havoc on the plans. This year’s event is slated for March 20-April 15, so you should have plenty of opportunity to take in the beauty of the spring foliage.

Due to current weather conditions, the latest intel suggests peak bloom will be approximately March 27-31.
