Cherry Blossom Festivals celebrate the blooming of cherry trees, particularly the Sakura variety, which is a symbol of spring in many cultures. These festivals are held in various countries, with the most famous being in Japan, where people gather to enjoy the beauty of the blossoms, participate in picnics, and engage in traditional activities. In the United States, cities like Washington, D.C. host their own Cherry Blossom Festivals, commemorating the gift of cherry trees from Japan in 1912. These events often include parades, cultural performances, and art displays, attracting visitors who appreciate the fleeting beauty of the blossoms.
