The National Cherry Blossom Festival runs from March to April of each year. The city may be most beautiful—and crowded—when the Cherry Blossoms bloom each year. Blossom experts can usually predict when the blossoms will bloom in February. The official Festival includes a parade and other local events. Go during the week to avoid massive crowds. http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org #walking #free #greatforkids #free
