Cherry blossom season is one of DC’s best “you had to be there” moments—soft pink blooms, fresh spring energy, and the city suddenly feeling a little more magical. The festival celebrates the 1912 gift of cherry trees from Tokyo and the friendship between the US and Japan, with events starting around March 20 and blooming excitement lasting into mid-April.
If you’re looking for a group outing that feels seasonal (and not the same old happy hour), these experiences are built around the blossoms—think cherry blossom cocktails, cherry-chocolate treats, sushi making, and tours that mix iconic views with delicious bites. Pick your vibe: creative, foodie, scenic, or all of the above.
