Thousands Flock to Washington, D.C. for Cherry Blossoms at Peak Bloom

In Washington, D.C., locals and tourists are gathering to witness the city's iconic cherry blossoms in full bloom. The National Park Service announces that peak bloom—defined as the point when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms are open—is reached on March 28, 2025. This timing aligns with earlier predictions and marks the latest peak bloom since 2021; last year's bloom arrived eleven days earlier. The blossoms typically remain vibrant for about ten days, though their longevity can be influenced by weather conditions such as rain and wind.
