National Cherry Blossom Festival

Website: http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/

In 1912, Japan gave Washington D.C. a gift of 3,000 cherry trees. More than 700,000 people visit Washington each year, sometime between March 15th and April 15th each year to see all the cherry trees in bloom. The first festival was held in 1935.
