It is almost Cherry Blossom time! Peak Bloom Period is predicted for Friday April 3 - Thursday April 9, 2009. The blooming period begins many days before peak bloom is reached and can last up to 14 days.

Another photo opportunity is the Festival Parade Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 10 AM. " The Parade runs along Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th Streets, NW, and will be featured in a live simulcast on ABC 7/ WJLA-TV and NewsChannel 8.  Giant colorful balloons, marching bands, and performers will burst down Constitution Avenue in an energy-filled spectacle of music and showmanship seen only once a year during the National Cherry Blossom Festival. ... Free and open to the public.  Prime viewing grandstand seats, located on Constitution Avenue between 15th and 17th Streets, can be purchased for $17 through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com."
