Westfield Montgomery mall will take part in the National Cherry Blossom Festival starting this Friday with special pink lighting and events.
The mall (7101 Democracy Boulevard) will illuminate some of its exterior walls with the lighting and a National Cherry Blossom Festival logo. It’s one of about 20 D.C. area landmarks and buildings that will do so as part of the Festival’s “City In Bloom” program.
Inside the mall, stores Lilly Pulitzer, H.Bloom and Lobster ME will host floral arrangement classes on March 29, with food provided by the fast casual lobster and seafood eatery. Professional floral designers will provide instruction. More details and a registration form will be available soon on Westfield Montgomery’s website.
There will be cherry blossom trees inside the mall — with anticipated peak bloom on March 29. The Tidal Basin trees are expected to reach peak bloom some time from April 11-April 14. In the Kenwood neighborhood of Chevy Chase, that likely means a April 14-April 18 range for peak bloom.
The “Petal Pass” program will offer deals such as a complimentary branded tote bag and discounts from retailers.
