Cherry Blossom Festival
Springtime floral gathering
A Cherry Blossom Festival is a public celebration of cherry trees in bloom, typically held in spring when the delicate pink and white flowers peak.
The most famous is Washington, D.C.'s National Cherry Blossom Festival, commemorating Japan's 1912 gift of trees to the United States.
Similar festivals occur wherever cherry trees bloom in significant numbers: We're planning to visit during the cherry blossom festival.
