The annual National Cherry Blossom Festival parade celebrates the gift of three thousand trees from Japan in 1912. The mayor of Tokyo, Yukio Ozaki, sent the beautiful treasures to Washington, D.C. as tribute to the long lasting relationship between these two countries.
Each year there is a parade, and it is taking place later this month. Presenting vivid costumes and adornments that resemble blossoms, the parade will be travelling through our nation's capital. There will be music, dancing, as well as celebrity appearances. All are welcome to experience the awe and refinement of this performance.
