The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. USA

The 2017 event marks the 90th anniversary of the first festival and the 105th anniversary of Japan's tree gift

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration in Washington, D.C. commemorating the March 27, 1912 gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City Japan to the city of Washington

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is known as the Nation’s Greatest Springtime Celebration!

Images are from the first weekend on The National Cherry Blossom Festival

National Park Service NPS predicted peak bloom March 19th thru 22nd 2017

Photos were taken while the cherry blossom trees were in the sixth of six stages of blooming called Peak Bloom which happened on March 25th 2017

* Approximately half of the Yoshino blossoms were lost due to a late frost that occurred March 14-16, 2017

Puffy white and peak bloom are defined as when 70% of the surviving blossoms reach those stages

Average peak bloom date is April 4th

Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958)

Peak bloom dates occurred on:

2017 March 25th

2016 March 25th

2015 April 10th

2014 April 10th

Origins of the cherry trees in DC:

Viscountess Chinda was the wife of the Japanese ambassador. She and Mrs. Taft planted the first two cherry trees at the Tidal Basin March 27th 1912

The ceremony of planting these trees grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival

This special part of history is celebrated through many events and is also commemorated with a large, bronze plaque at the site of the first planting

Also of importance is Dr. David Fairchild, a prominent botanist who planted the first cherry trees in D.C.

WASHINGTON DC history

Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia is the capital of the United States of America since July 16, 1790

The state of Maryland donated land to create what is now known as Washington, D.C.

Virginia had also donated land which was returned to Virgina in 1846

Washington, D.C. is not in a state but there is a movement for statehood which would have the name of the 51st state as New Columbia

The United States of America declared independance from Great Britain in 1776

Japanese Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae said at a press conference on March 02, 2017 "I don't need to say, 'Make this cherry blossom festival great again,' because it's already great."

Photos were taken while the cherry blossom trees were in the sixth of six stages of blooming called Peak Bloom which happened on March 25th 2017

* Approximately half of the Yoshino blossoms were lost due to a late frost that occurred March 14-16, 2017

Puffy white and peak bloom are defined as when 70% of the surviving blossoms reach those stages

Average peak bloom date is April 4th

Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958)

2017 March 25th

Origins of the cherry trees in DC:

Viscountess Chinda was the wife of the Japanese ambassador. She and Mrs. Taft planted the first two cherry trees at the Tidal Basin March 27th 1912

The ceremony of planting these trees grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival

This special part of history is celebrated through many events and is also commemorated with a large, bronze plaque at the site of the first planting

Also of importance is Dr. David Fairchild, a prominent botanist who planted the first cherry trees in D.C.

WASHINGTON DC history

Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia is the capital of the United States of America since July 16, 1790

The state of Maryland donated land to create what is now known as Washington, D.C.

Virginia had also donated land which was returned to Virgina in 1846

Washington, D.C. is not in a state but there is a movement for statehood which would have the name of the 51st state as New Columbia

The United States of America declared independance from Great Britain in 1776

The state of Maryland donated land to create what is now known as Washington, D.C.

Virginia had also donated land which was returned to Virgina in 1846

Washington, D.C. is not in a state but there is a movement for statehood which would have the name of the 51st state as New Columbia

The United States of America declared independance from Great Britain in 1776

The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. USA

The 2017 event marks the 90th anniversary of the first festival and the 105th anniversary of Japan's tree gift

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration in Washington, D.C. commemorating the March 27, 1912 gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City Japan to the city of Washington

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is known as the Nation’s Greatest Springtime Celebration!

Images are from the first weekend on The National Cherry Blossom Festival

National Park Service NPS predicted peak bloom March 19th thru 22nd 2017

Photos were taken while the cherry blossom trees were in the sixth of six stages of blooming called Peak Bloom which happened on March 25th 2017

* Approximately half of the Yoshino blossoms were lost due to a late frost that occurred March 14-16, 2017

Puffy white and peak bloom are defined as when 70% of the surviving blossoms reach those stages

Average peak bloom date is April 4th

Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958)

Peak bloom dates occurred on:

2017 March 25th

2016 March 25th

2015 April 10th

2014 April 10th

Origins of the cherry trees in DC:

Viscountess Chinda was the wife of the Japanese ambassador. She and Mrs. Taft planted the first two cherry trees at the Tidal Basin March 27th 1912

The ceremony of planting these trees grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival

This special part of history is celebrated through many events and is also commemorated with a large, bronze plaque at the site of the first planting

Also of importance is Dr. David Fairchild, a prominent botanist who planted the first cherry trees in D.C.

* Approximately half of the Yoshino blossoms were lost due to a late frost that occurred March 14-16, 2017

Puffy white and peak bloom are defined as when 70% of the surviving blossoms reach those stages

Average peak bloom date is April 4th

Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958)

Origins of the cherry trees in DC:

Viscountess Chinda was the wife of the Japanese ambassador. She and Mrs. Taft planted the first two cherry trees at the Tidal Basin March 27th 1912

The ceremony of planting these trees grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival

This special part of history is celebrated through many events and is also commemorated with a large, bronze plaque at the site of the first planting

Also of importance is Dr. David Fairchild, a prominent botanist who planted the first cherry trees in D.C.

WASHINGTON DC history

Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia is the capital of the United States of America since July 16, 1790

The state of Maryland donated land to create what is now known as Washington, D.C.

Virginia had also donated land which was returned to Virgina in 1846

Washington, D.C. is not in a state but there is a movement for statehood which would have the name of the 51st state as New Columbia

The United States of America declared independance from Great Britain in 1776

The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. USA

The 2017 event marks the 90th anniversary of the first festival and the 105th anniversary of Japan's tree gift

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration in Washington, D.C. commemorating the March 27, 1912 gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City Japan to the city of Washington

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is known as the Nation’s Greatest Springtime Celebration!

Images are from the first weekend on The National Cherry Blossom Festival

National Park Service NPS predicted peak bloom March 19th thru 22nd 2017

Photos were taken while the cherry blossom trees were in the sixth of six stages of blooming called Peak Bloom which happened on March 25th 2017

* Approximately half of the Yoshino blossoms were lost due to a late frost that occurred March 14-16, 2017

Puffy white and peak bloom are defined as when 70% of the surviving blossoms reach those stages

Average peak bloom date is April 4th

Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958)

Peak bloom dates occurred on:

2017 March 25th

2016 March 25th

Origins of the cherry trees in DC:

Viscountess Chinda was the wife of the Japanese ambassador. She and Mrs. Taft planted the first two cherry trees at the Tidal Basin March 27th 1912

The ceremony of planting these trees grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival

This special part of history is celebrated through many events and is also commemorated with a large, bronze plaque at the site of the first planting

Also of importance is Dr. David Fairchild, a prominent botanist who planted the first cherry trees in D.C.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. USA

The 2017 event marks the 90th anniversary of the first festival and the 105th anniversary of Japan's tree gift

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration in Washington, D.C. commemorating the March 27, 1912 gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City Japan to the city of Washington

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is known as the Nation’s Greatest Springtime Celebration!

Images are from the first weekend on The National Cherry Blossom Festival

National Park Service NPS predicted peak bloom March 19th thru 22nd 2017

Photos were taken while the cherry blossom trees were in the sixth of six stages of blooming called Peak Bloom which happened on March 25th 2017

* Approximately half of the Yoshino blossoms were lost due to a late frost that occurred March 14-16, 2017

Puffy white and peak bloom are defined as when 70% of the surviving blossoms reach those stages

Average peak bloom date is April 4th

Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in peak bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958)

Peak bloom dates occurred on:

2017 March 25th

2016 March 25th

2015 April 10th

Origins of the cherry trees in DC:

Viscountess Chinda was the wife of the Japanese ambassador. She and Mrs. Taft planted the first two cherry trees at the Tidal Basin March 27th 1912

The ceremony of planting these trees grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival

This special part of history is celebrated through many events and is also commemorated with a large, bronze plaque at the site of the first planting

Also of importance is Dr. David Fairchild, a prominent botanist who planted the first cherry trees in D.C.
