Bloomeroo® at The Wharf
Saturday, March 23, 2024, 2:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us at the home of the cherry blossoms for a free family-friendly spring extravaganza. The event will include live music, art, and feature a fireworks show. And according to the National Park Service, the cherry trees will reach peak bloom—meaning 70% of the cherry tree buds are open—on March 23—just in time for Bloomaroo® at The Wharf. Come celebrate with us!
