April Brings Colorful Blossoms to Washington D.C.

April is one of Washington D.C.'s most picturesque times of the year as the city comes alive with an explosion of pink and white cherry blossom blooms that gracefully adorn the streets. The mild weather, with temperatures averaging in the mid-60s, is the perfect atmosphere for visitors to explore iconic landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Smithsonian Museums. Take a stroll along the Tidal Basin to bask in the peak of cherry blossom season, and enjoy the outdoors with bike rides and picnics. There are also plenty of exciting events this month, including the Sakura Matsuri Japanese Street Festival, Filmfest DC, and the National Cannabis Festival.
