PETAL PROCESSIONS

The Festival is bringing the inaugural Petal Procession to DC-area streets!

On Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11 the National Cherry Blossom Festival will visit select Petal Porch Parade neighborhoods in vehicles painted by local artists to say “thank you” to the residents who registered and decorated in the inaugural Petal Porch Parade presented by Amazon.

The Festival has chosen routes based on the locations of registered homes in the Petal Porch Parade.

Here are the general locations where the Peal Processions will cruise through. Locations and times are subject to change. Please practice social distancing and wear masks when in view of the vehicles.
