Dear Journalists,
Think Washington, DC for travel stories this spring and beyond. Here’s why:
• From the Tidal Basin to the local neighborhoods, DC is decked out in pink. During the National Cherry Blossom Festival (March 20-April 13), hotels, restaurants, bars and attractions embrace the season with creative deals and experiences, from themed picnics to high teas.
• DC hosts WorldPride 2025 (May 17-June 8), a landmark event that celebrates equality, diversity and love on a global scale. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Pride celebrations in the city, this momentous occasion presents a unifying opportunity to come together, celebrate and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community through a series of meaningful events, parades, festivals, star-studded concerts, cultural festivities and, of course, nightlife.
• New additions to DC’s ever-evolving list of things to see and do include the return of the giant pandas to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, making the nation’s capital the only place in the U.S. to see giant pandas for free. In addition, the new Go-Go Museum & Café opened in the heart of Anacostia – the first institution dedicated to the celebration and preservation of the syncopated, drum-driven funk that is DC’s native musical form.
