This is most definitely my favorite Spring event in D.C.
I may take several strolls around the Tidal Basin, during peak bloom.
With tons of events, you’ll have plenty of time to check out the festival. Enjoy activities from March 20 – April 17.

And if this is your first time at the Festival, this is the year to see it!

Be sure to tag the Festival with #RediscoverSpring.”
(2) City of Alexandria to unveil new public art installation
Temporary Public Art Installation by R & R STUDIOS
About: “I Love You, the latest temporary art installation on Old Town Alexandria’s waterfront from late March to November 2022, is a luminous declaration of affection from the city to the public, creating a photo-ready postcard of Alexandria which represents the city’s welcoming spirit and a message of hope through the COVID-19 pandemic. Created by award-winning and globally recognized R & R STUDIOS, I Love You is a plaza with the words “I Love You” scripted in rose-hued metal and lighted neon standing 15 feet high above a pink ground mural emulating a giant “magic carpet.”
