National Harbor has more than 200 Okame trees along its 1.2 mile waterfront trail that visitors can come and experience while celebrating cherry blossom season with a full line up of events and activities for all ages to enjoy.
The annual Sakura Sunday festival, an official participating event of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, is a free, family-friendly celebration that features cultural performances, culinary delights, a Sakura Spirits Garden, a Water Lantern Festival, a Japanese artisanal market, and more.
The Water Lantern Festival has expanded to three nights this year. The ticketed event brings families, friends, couples and individuals together for a meaningful evening experience that illuminates the waterfront with messages of hope, unity, and remembrance. Participants decorate lighted lanterns, which are released into an enclosed area, creating a peaceful and visually striking nighttime display.
