The annual National Cherry Blossom Festival starts March 20 — whether or not the blossoms are ready.

While it’s too soon to predict peak bloom for Washington’s famous cherry blossoms, other plants are emerging early due to warmer temperatures.

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.

And the Cherry Blossom Festival has a new sponsor: LaCroix.

Peak bloom is predicted to hit before the festival even begins.

With lots of rain forecasted for this weekend, the Blossom Kite Festival has been pushed back a day.

Fear not, D.C.: Spring is coming.

This comes during the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which begins on March 20.

Just four days after having its biggest day ever, with 9,857 rides, Bikeshare finally broke the five-digit barrier, and by a fair distance.

The annual Cherry Blossom Festival Parade is tomorrow. Make sure you know what roads will be closed.
