Cherry Blossoms are in peak bloom in Washington D.C.
This year’s peak bloom coincides with the very beginning of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs from March 20 to April 17. The blossoms can remain at peak bloom for up to a week under favorable weather — namely, light winds and no precipitation. Petals fall off more quickly if there’s rain, snow, frost, unusually warm weather and/or strong winds.
