Join us for our annual potluck picnic during the National Cherry Blossom Festival!

Location & Arrival:

We will meet just west of the Japanese Lantern. Our meeting spot is a sixteen (16) minute walk west of the Smithsonian Metro. We will be several hundred feet west of the Lantern amongst the trees. This area is nestled amongst the trees and is close enough to the actual Festival Stage and food which is a 5-7 minute walk to the West .Look for a white Peace Corps flag!

Please note transportation will be crowded because it is the height of the Cherry Blossom Festival, so plan a lot of time to get to the tidal basin! We recommend biking or walking in if possible. It will be quite busy!

What to Bring:

Please bring a dish or side dish to share. Please use this form to let everyone know what you are bringing. Please bring blankets and/or portable chairs if you have them.

Community Guidelines:

Please be mindful of the RPCV/W Community Guidelines here. We want this to be a safe, fun, and inviting space for everyone!
