The National Cherry Blossom Festival is DC’s signature springtime event. The 2012 Festival is March 20 - April 27, and features daily cultural performances, sporting events, arts & crafts, demonstrations and other special events. The National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates the 100th anniversary of the gift of the cherry blossom trees and the enduring friendship between the citizens of the United States and Japan. For schedules and information visit nationalcherryblossomfestival.org or call the Festival hotline at (877) 44BLOOM.
Through a collaborative effort by Washington Photo Safari and FotoWeekDC, you can now win a $500 prize or a weekend stay at the Renaissance Hotel in DC for a REALLY good picture of the blossoms by entering the new Cherry Blossom Photo Contest sponsored by FotoWeekDC as part of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. They will even accept photos from a previous year if you want to enter before the March 15 early-bird deadline. Check out the details at http://cherryblossom.fotodc.org.
