Our Blossom Kicks for Kids Program, presented by @eventsdc, is a beloved tradition where DC students let their creativity bloom on a pair of kicks to celebrate cherry blossom season. 🌸👟

This year’s theme, “Art of the Game,” celebrates young female athletes and student creators across DC, using soccer and design as vehicles for creativity and self-expression. More than 150 students submitted designs for this year’s program. Then, 25 students in grades 5–8 from all eight DC wards were selected and spent an afternoon at Audi Field bringing their ideas to life, working alongside local artist David ‘DEZ’ Zambrano (@dedztheartist76) to transform blank cleats into original works of art.

Now, the shoes are on display for everyone to see! Grab your sole-mates and check out the students' designs on display on the first floor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library through May 29th. @dcpubliclibrary

Special thanks to @MarriottBonvoy for their support and participation during the 2026 Festival.

One of DC’s biggest spectator events delivered an unforgettable show! The National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade®, presented by @EventsDC brought incredible energy to Constitution Avenue on April 11, 2026, with dazzling floats, performances, and celebrations from across the country. A standout moment came from the “Blooms. Blossoms. Bonvoy. Where can we take you?” float sponsored by Marriott Bonvoy, featuring Audrey Eckert, @MissUSA 2025.

Did you know local jeweler, Bloomstone Jewelers, was the selected creator of the official 2025 Miss USA crown (seen in the pics)? The crown features approximately 604 lab-grown diamonds surrounding a striking 70-carat blue topaz, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship. Want to learn more about lab grown diamonds and how the crown was made?

We are still reveling in the memories from the 3rd Annual Blossom Tea Party in March! Thank you to our partner, @eventsdc, for creating the opportunity to welcome more than 250 legacy residents to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for an afternoon dedicated to honoring the history, experiences, and contributions of the senior community PLUS good bites, great music, and even better company! 🌸

With support from the Department of Aging and Community Living (@dacl_dc), the event invited seniors from across the DC region to share stories, enjoy meaningful conversation, and indulge in fine teas and lunch—all while dressed in their springtime best!

What made this event more memorable were the students from Sojourner Truth High School (@truthmontessori) who volunteered their time to give back to those who came before.

Of course, the afternoon would not have been complete without a visit to the dance floor. From line dancing lessons to springtime joy, this event reflects a commitment to honoring our legacy residents and celebrating their lasting impact on the city.
