Episode 34: Cherry Blossoms in Washington, DC: Peak Bloom vs Festival + Tips for Visiting with Kids

from Ready Set Depart · host Ashley Linton

You’ve probably heard people say they want to see the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC, but did you know that visiting during the National Cherry Blossom Festival doesn’t always mean you’ll actually see the blooms? In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between peak bloom and the festival so you can plan your trip at the right time. I’ll walk you through when to go, where to stay, how to get around with kids, and what a realistic day might look like. Plus, I’m sharing what to do if you miss peak bloom (because your trip can still be amazing). If a spring trip to DC is on your list, this episode will help you feel prepared and excited to go.Support the showFollow us on:Instagram | Facebook | Pinterest
