You can always find a cultural event.

One of the best things about D.C. is how the seasons play out with dazzling displays of color. From the tulips and cherry blossoms in the spring to the gorgeous colors of fall, the city comes alive with every drop of a calendar page.

Winters are a bit sparse on snow, but for the most part, you'll love getting all four seasons. It's truly spectacular when the cherry blossoms bloom, and people come worldwide to see them.
