Spring brings so much beauty with it – from the return of the ruby-throated hummingbirds to the blossoming of the flowers, like the cherry blossoms. When most people think of cherry blossoms, they likely think of the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. However, there’s a beloved annual cherry blossom festival in Missouri, too. If it’s not already, you might want to start a brand new spring tradition by visiting.
