The National Parks Service has indicated that it will shut down the Tidal Basin to pedestrian traffic if crowds grow too large during cherry blossom peak bloom, so visit now while you can.
The first week back from spring break might be stressful, so take some time this weekend to recharge. Attend a “Bridgerton”-inspired virtual dance party, take in the beauty of the cherry blossoms and visit Artechouse’s newest installation.
