Cherry Blossom Festival
The Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., is one of the city’s most celebrated annual events. It marks the arrival of spring and commemorates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry trees from the Mayor of Tokyo, Yukio Ozaki, to the city of Washington, D.C., as a gesture of friendship between Japan and the United States. The National Park Service closely monitors the cherry trees and announces the “peak bloom” dates each year. Peak bloom refers to the time when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin are open. This period typically lasts a few days, making it the best time to visit.
History of Washington, D.C.
Founded on July 16, 1790, Washington, D.C. was established as the nation’s capital as part of a compromise between northern and southern states. The city was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States, and its layout was designed by French engineer Pierre Charles L’Enfant.
During the War of 1812, British forces burned many public buildings, including the White House and the Capitol. Over the years, Washington, D.C., evolved into not just the political heart of the country but also a cultural and historical hub. Today, it hosts countless national monuments, museums, and government institutions.
