Bring the family for a day of fun for the 44th Annual Smithsonian Kite Festival.

If you want to build a kite, bring a kite or just watch the fun, it is sure to be a day of fun watching the kite festival at the Washington Monument.

If you decide not go to attend the Cherry Blossom Festival - Opening Day Events, you can still see them from a far.

If you haven't visited the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, or the Jefferson Memorial, now is a great time to visit and see the cherry blossoms at the same time. You may even decide to take a stroll by the Washington Monument or the White House.
