In a dazzling display of style and community spirit, the Pink Tie Party is set to kick off the National Cherry Blossom Festival on Friday, March 14th at Union Station—just adjacent to H Street. This much-anticipated event promises an elegant evening that not only celebrates the arrival of spring but also serves as a critical fundraiser to support the expansive programming around Washington, DC, and local organizations such as schools.
A Night of Elegance for a Worthy Cause
Attendees at the Pink Tie Party can expect a vibrant mix of live entertainment, gourmet hors d'oeuvres, and an atmosphere charged with anticipation for the festival’s signature celebrations. The event’s fundraiser component plays a vital role in ensuring that the National Cherry Blossom Festival continues its tradition of delivering free public programming throughout the region, enhancing community engagement and supporting the arts, education, and cultural outreach.
Exclusive Offer to Support the Arts and Local Schools

Beyond saving on admission, every ticket purchased helps Harriet the Hedgehog reach her fundraising goals, adding a personal incentive to participate in this grand celebration of spring and civic pride.
Cherry Blossoms at Their Peak
The event is not just about the kickoff party. This year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival is set to dazzle as the blossoms are projected to reach peak bloom between March 28 and March 31. Last year’s festival made headlines by generating over $246 million in earned media, a testament to the widespread appeal and cultural impact of the celebration. In 2024, more than 1.6 million DC area residents and visitors flocked to the festival’s signature events and programs, marking it as one of the most significant celebrations in the nation’s capital.
A Celebration of Community and Culture
The Pink Tie Party embodies the spirit of unity and artistic expression that the National Cherry Blossom Festival champions each year. With proceeds bolstering both free programming and local initiatives, this kickoff event is a prime example of how a community can come together to celebrate nature’s beauty while making a meaningful difference locally.
