Cherry Blossoms & the Tidal Basin — Washington in Spring

The Cherry Blossom Festival (the National Cherry Blossom Festival, held annually in late March-early April in Washington DC — the most-attended annual event in Washington DC, attracting approximately 1.5 million visitors per year): the 3,800 Yoshino cherry trees (Prunus × yedoensis) surrounding the Tidal Basin and the National Mall bloom simultaneously for approximately 1-2 weeks each spring, creating the most spectacularly beautiful public floral display in the United States and one of the most photographed spring displays in the world.
