UPDATE Due to the warm weather the peak of the Cherry Tree bloom is now expected between March 20th and 23rd, with blooming starting around the 18th!  What a wacky winter!!!

The peak bloom date is expected a bit earlier than usual this year, especially if we get a good string of warm days.  More details about the events can be found in this link to the Washington Post.
