Cherry Blossom Daruma at Anthem Row

Spring is knocking and Downtown D.C. is ready to bloom! The Cherry Blossom Daruma at Anthem Row — a 10-foot-wide Japanese daruma doll aerial art installation adorned with intricate cherry blossom motifs—is set to wow and welcome visitors of all ages to experience spring in the city for the 2025 National Cherry Blossom Festival.

On Sunday, March 23 from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m., Anthem Row will transform into a one-of-a-kind Japanese Yokocho alleyway, featuring a fashion show, Japanese cuisine flavors, and of course, the awe-inspiring Cherry Blossom Daruma sculpture—designed by multidisciplinary artist My Ly. Be sure to capture and share the massive symbol of beauty, renewal, and perseverance using the hashtag #CherryBlossomDaruma. Register NOW!
