International Cherry Blossom Festival

The International Cherry Blossom Festival is held in Macon, Georgia, every spring. Macon, known as the "Cherry Blossom Capital of the World," has around 300,000–350,000 Yoshino Cherry Trees that bloom around the city in late March every year. The festival, held to coincide with the typical blooming period, lasts for ten days and features events for people of all ages. It has been an annual event since 1982, though the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival is not associated with the National Cherry Blossom Festival held in Washington, D.C.
