The predicted peak time for the delicate and fleeting lovelies in D.C. is March 23-26, according to the National Park Service’s Bloom Watch.
The service warns multiple factors can affect the blooms late in the game.
Cool, calm weather can extend the blossom time.
One rainy or windy day or a late frost can nip the whole affair in the bud.
While peak bloom can still be up in the air, the dates for the National Cherry Blossom Festival are solidly locked down: March 20-April 14.
If the crowds are too much at the iconic Tidal Basin, check out offerings in the nearby Wharf district, which is holding Bloomaroo on March 23.
