DC Cherry Blossoms in 2021

It seems increasingly likely that DC will still be under COVID-19 restrictions in spring 2021 while the cherry blossoms are blooming. So it's shaping up to be a good year to follow along from afar from the safety and comfort of your home.

Lots of school groups are starting to arrive now, so tour buses and school buses are lining up each day along the riverfront of West Potomac Park. There won’t be much to see of the cherry blossoms this weekend–they’re still doing their thing, but still have some growing to do before we start to see the first flowers peek through. But the weather forecast for the weekend is pretty miserable anyway, with even a small chance of a few snowflakes.
