RSS FeedCherry Blossom Festival Kicking Into High Gear
The Cherry Blossom Festival officially runs March 20 through April 12 but this week marks the kick off of the bulk of activities. The official Cherry Blossom Festival website lists events but we also like the guide produced by the Washington Post which offers up a nice map and pick of events. Peak bloom is predicted to be between April 11 and April 14 which spans the weekend after next. We always enjoy the official parade along Constitution Ave which this year takes place on April 11.
Our experience is that the best time to view the blossoms without crowds is during the week around lunchtime so we usually walk down to the Tidal Basin for a long lunch to take in the view. The weekends bring maddening crowds but if that’s the only time you can get away, it’s usually easier to use public transportation and/or walk rather than driving.
