For one night, the UW Quad’s iconic cherry trees were up-lit in pink to celebrate the bloom, with the 29 Yoshino tree blossoms glowing like never before. The U District Partnership transformed the blossom-viewing experience for one evening with over 200 base lights of pink up-lighting to showcase the beauty of the bloom at nightfall. Thank you to AT Productions for their work on this first-time-ever illumination on the UW Quad!

Enjoy blossom-themed bites, cocktails, desserts, and more as you make your way to or from the blossoms! Explore the event guide with specials from over 90 participating U District businesses.
