Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets

A Live Cherry Blossom Mural Installation in Dupont Circle Park

Artist and DC Native, Chris Pyrate will be returning to Dupont Circle for the 2024 National Cherry Blossom Festival!

In 2019, Chris painted a series of panels to create a pop up mural installation for the Dupont Circle Metro. The piece brought the Cherry Blossoms to Dupont with Chris’s hand painted brilliant blooms. This time he will be scaling his signature Cherry Blossom imagery to tremendous proportions. Dupont Circle residents and festival goers will have an opportunity to see the ongoing mural work and installation being created in real time. The end result will be a semi-permanent work of art for Dupont Circle and attendees of the National Cherry Blossom Festival to enjoy!

What began with a gift in 1912 at the Tidal Basin is now a four-week extravaganza spanning Washington, DC, and neighboring communities in Maryland and Virginia. From exciting events to convenient hotels, delectable Cherry Picks restaurants, vibrant Art in Bloom installations, and a jaw-dropping City in Bloom to joyful Petal Porches, see the Washington, DC area as you can only see it once a year!
