The lotus flowers will be in full bloom at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in NE DC. There will be a schedule of the day's cultural activities. Bring a lawn chair and a picnic lunch if you plan to stay for the festivities. Check out upcoming details here: https://www.nps.gov/keaq/planyourvisit/lotus-and-water-lily-festival.htm Hours are 10AM to 8PM. The event is free; open to the public and your furry friends. There is plenty of free parking on the street as well as the park's lot; however, plan to get there early as this is a well-attended event. The blooms will probably last for another week so catch them before they are all gone for the year.
