I LOVE Cherry Blossom season, and as someone who visits Washington DC each year multiple times during Cherry Blossom season, I put together this guide to share some of my favorite spots and recommendations for the best places to see the best blooms around town and nearby in Virginia and Maryland.
Fun Fact: There are actually many types of Cherry Blossom Trees in Washington DC that bloom starting late February into April.
This guide is in both a list form and interactive map, and showcases where to find:

*Kwanzan Cherry Blossoms
*Other Cherry Blossoms Varieties (like Weeping Higan)
*Getting Around DC
*Where to Stay
**BONUS: Saucer & Star Magnolias around town (these bloom during Cherry Blossom season and not to be missed!

Cherry Blossoms Info
When you hear mention of Cherry Blossoms in Washington DC, you immediately think of the gorgeous Yoshino Cherry Blossom Trees in and around Tidal Basin!
While these are a must see, there are also a number of other Cherry Blossom varieties that tend to start bloom late February all the way through into April.
Below you will find a breakdown of the main varieties (Okame, Yoshino & Kwanzan), when to catch them in "peak" bloom, where they are located, and some helpful tips around parking (if you choose to drive).
Note: each year these dates can vary slightly based on the weather. This guide will be updated annually with the latest information and throughout this year as we get closer to "peak" blooms.
