Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC

2026's Cherry Blossom season is here! I loved visiting the Tidal Basin on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, and photographing the Cherry Blossom trees. They're so pretty. View the video below from my visit. Cherry Blossoms are also blooming elsewhere throughout the area and can be seen nearby in Alexandria, VA, Arlington, and areas of Maryland. 

The dates for 2026's Cherry Blossom Festival are March 20, 2026 - April 12, 2026.
