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.

National & Regional Parks
With 75 overlooks and 500 miles of trails my family appreciates the beautiful scenic views while visiting Shenandoah National Park. We also plan to attend the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival on April 27 - May 6, 2012 in Northern Shenandoah Valley. More than thirty events will include competitions, parades, circus, food, and much more.

In addition to hiking, biking, and camping at regional parks you can attend spring festivals such as the Potomac Overlook Regional Park Annual Heritage Festival on May 6 from 1PM - 4PM. Bring your family to enjoy music, entertainment, food, community exhibits, games, and much more.

In addition to music, dance, and many other performances there will be entertainment for children such as an antique carousel, puppet shows, and other games and rides.
