The National Cherry Blossom Festival is celebrating its 110th anniversary. The popular event celebrating U.S.-Japanese ties, is once again being held in person. The most flowers are expected between March 22 and March 25. The National Cherry Blossom Festival is being held Washington, D.C. after two years of restrictions because of COVID-19. This year, more than ever, you really understand why the festival is so important, said Diana Mayhew. She is the president of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, Inc., the non-profit group that helps organize the events. We recognize that it's more than just a festival. It's about spring and renewal and a sense of new beginnings.
