Its Cherry Blossom Time

Word on the street is its probably going to be raining intermittently throughout the weekend, but it’s spring in Washington, and that can only mean on thing: it’s time for the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Kicking of with the opening ceremony at 4:00PM tomorrow in the National Building Museum, the festival is going to continue on through the 12th and is going to include a ton of events that cater to just about anything you can think of. In addition to countless shows and tours, a handful of DC restaurants will be offering up special deals and cherry blossom inspired dishes through the course of the festival so be sure not to miss out on that.


The trees are predicted to be a peak bloom between the first and the fourth, so if nothing else you ought to make your way down to the tidal basin and take a few pictures. It’s worth the trip.
