The National Cherry Blossom Festival held in Washington, D.C. is an annual event that commemorates the gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees from Tokyo in 1912. This year, it’s from March 29-April 13th and I highly recommend going! It’s a great event to sightsee with family or friends, and there are many activities and foods to try!

Visit local museums and learn more about Japanese culture, listen to live music, try Sapporo in the beer garden, observe traditional Japanese dances, martial arts, paper-folding, and much, much more! This’ll be my fourth year going and it’s still exciting for me, so if you’ve been looking to try something different or have been meaning to spring forward, this is the perfect opportunity to do it~
