WASHINGTON - The National Park Service says Washington's cherry blossoms will be at their peak bloom between March 24 and 31.
The city is getting ready to celebrate 100 years with its famous cherry blossom trees.
National Park Service Chief Horticulturalist Rob DeFeo made the announcement about when the trees will be full of pink and white flowers during a Thursday news conference.
The annual cherry blossom festival runs from March 20 to April 27.
"Whoever picked the dates picked them because they coincide with the earliest bloom dates on record and the latest bloom dates on record. It's a no-brainer that they are going to bloom during the festival. There's been speculation that the warm weather will change things. That speculation is correct," DeFeo said.
