The festival takes place in various parks around the city to celebrate the blooming of the numerous cherry trees that line the streets. The original cherry trees were a gift from Japan in 1912, and the most famous are those encircling the Tidal Basin near the Jefferson Memorial. The blooming of the trees is truly a sight to behold, washing the city's landscape with pink and white. They generally bloom profusely around the end of March and early April, although the dates of the festival may not coincide with peak bloom. The parade takes place on Constitution Avenue between 7th and 17th Sts NW. |
