The National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade®

SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2010 at 10 AM

We invite you to attend one of Washington's most exciting traditions -- the 2010 National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade® on Saturday, April 10 from 10am – noon, rain or shine.  The Parade runs along Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th Streets, NW, and will be featured in a live simulcast on ABC 7/ WJLA-TV and NewsChannel 8.  Giant colorful balloons, marching bands, and performers will burst down Constitution Avenue in an energy-filled spectacle of music and showmanship seen only once a year during the National Cherry Blossom Festival.  

	Arthur enjoys the beautiful spring day with the crowd in front of the National Archives as he makes his way along the Parade route.
