Springtime cherry blossom watch and festival is one of the popular Washington DC annual celebration events. It started with a gift of 2000 Japanese cherry trees from Tokyo mayor to the city of Washington in 1912. Majority of cherry trees in the DC area now are single white blossom Yoshino (around the Tidal Basin) and Kwanzan cherry trees elsewhere. The first annual Cherry Blossom Festival took place in 1935. The festival includes 10 mile run, kite flying, Japanese stone lantern lighting, fireworks and parade and lasts 3 weeks and is attended by nearly million visitors.
