Spring Festivals Northern Virginia
My family loves attending the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The 2012 festival in Washington, D.C. on March 20 - April 27, 2012 celebrated 100 years of the gift of trees! My family enjoyed the kite festival. There are many other spring festivals in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia whether at parks, church events, garden tours and garden festivals, or wine festivals.
