One of the first signs of spring in Philadelphia is the prevalence of blooming cherry blossoms all around the city — the parks, the streets, the sidewalks. It’s a stunning sight to see.

Philadelphia has a wealth of cherry trees of varying types that add touches of pink, white and purple to skyline views and the already-picturesque waterfronts of the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers.

Peak bloom dates predicted for 2020

For spring 2020, the Shofuso Japanese House and Garden projects the peak dates to view cherry blossom blooms in Fairmount Park to be March 21 to April 1, 2020.

And Morris Arboretum expects the Greater Philadelphia area to see peak blooms between March 31 and April 3, 2020.

There are a ton of popular attractions and public green spaces within the city that offer premier viewing spots to go check out the camera-ready blooms.
