The DC Traveler

Just in time for Spring, and complete with 16 marching bands, Cherry Blossom queens from both the U.S. and Japan, dance and drum teams, antique cars, clowns and even the National Cherry Blossom Festival All-Star Tap Dance Team, the annual National Cherry Blossom Parade is sure to delight everyone.

National Cherry Blossom Parade 
Constitution Avenue between 7th and 17th Streets NW
Washington, DC

Date and Time - Saturday, April 14, 10:00 a.m. until noon. 

Parade Route - Constitution Avenue from 7th Street to 17th Street

Tickets - Admission is free, and grandstand seating is available for $15.00, and available online.

Nearest Metro subway station – Federal Triangle - Blue and Orange line, then a 1/2 block walk to Constitution Ave. or Smithsonian - Blue and Orange lines, then a 3 block walk.

Parking - Street parking is available, but will be difficult, so I recommend you use Metro. 

And DC is not the only area to have some great cherry blossoms.  Check out the post on The Seattle Traveler about blossoms on the other coast.
