Washington, DC (for mostly free!) for Cherry Blossom Season 🌸 #Only1DC #SpringTogether #VisitWashingtonDCPartner

Come with me on a mostly free trip to Washington, DC during cherry blossom season (thank you to visitwashingtondc for hosting me!)

Washington, DC is known for beautiful cherry blossoms, and they even have a National Cherry Blossom Festival every year filled with a ton of free events (this year from March 20 -  April 14)

It’s quick and affordable to visit from New York City. Trains or buses can start at $15 (book in advance!)

Best spots to check out the blossoms:
🌸 Tidal Basin (past peak but can still see some)
🌸 Steps of the Jefferson Memorial (past peak but can still see some)
🌸 Hains Point Loop Trail (the pink Kwanzan trees aren’t even in peak bloom yet, great to check out for an upcoming trip!)
 

Activities: 
🌸 Petalpalooza: free day long celebration with tons of freebies, performances, food trucks and even fireworks to end the night (for next year)
🌸 cherryblossfest Parade (this Saturday April 13th)
🖼️ All smithsonian museums are FREE to visit

I truly had the best weekend in DC during cherry blossom season and I definitely recommend you head there this month or start planning a trip for next year.

Stay tuned for part two with free things to do in DC year round!
