Young journalist Ilana Washington interviewed NPS about the history of the flowering trees that draw people to D.C. from around the world.

The National Park Service has announced that at least 70 percent of the cherry trees’ buds have begun to blossom.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: here are the top ways to celebrate the Cherry Blossom, virtually or IRL around the District.

Officials are once again trying to prevent people coming en mass to the Tidal Basin to see the blossoms amid the pandemic.

Make a cherry blossom cocktail, take a free guided meditation class, and more.

J-Pop singer-songwriter Naotaro Moriyama performed his single “Sakura (Cherry Blossom)” for the virtual opening ceremony.

Parks in Northern Virginia have a #BloomWatch of their own.

Check out one of DC’s many food tours for a new way to entertain visitors during cherry blossom season and beyond.

Reminder: Hobbyists are banned from flying any type of unmanned aircraft in D.C.

Now NPS is saying that peak bloom is coming before the festival kicks off.
