The event is a week away. We are also opening up IAD and BWI as arrival fields or diversion fields. Please plan extra fuel and pack your patience as the event will be busy and we MIGHT go into holding. Be patience and nice with the controllers might go a long way. vZDC is looking forward to hosting traffic into DCA to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Washington DC offers.

If you're flying into BWI, please have up-to-date scenery as default MSFS Asobo doesn't have rwy 33L.

If you're flying into IAD, please have the latest AIRAC as we're transitioning into new STAR. If you're unable to comply with the new STAR or don't have it, please advise the Potomac Controller on initial contact.

Thank you

vZDC Washington ARTCC Presents the
Cherry Blossom Festival (ft. KDCA)

Join the Virtual Washington ARTCC controllers as we make our way back to Washington National Airport for the Cherry Blossom Fly-In on March 30rd. This annual gathering coincides with the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC, taking place between March and April. During this period, the cherry blossoms along the National Mall are in full bloom, attracting tourists from across the country who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and festival events.

These iconic trees have a history dating back to 1912 when Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki generously donated them to the city of Washington DC as a symbol of friendship. Planted around the tidal basin off the National Mall, a festival celebrating these trees began in 1934.

Washington National Airport (KDCA) stands out as the premier domestic airport for both commuters and tourists heading to the Washington Metro Area. Located just 3 miles south of the National Mall, the airport offers a range of scenic and distinctive approaches/departures for arriving or departing aircraft. With a diverse selection of North American flights, including regional and transcontinental routes, there's a flight for everyone. We eagerly anticipate your participation and look forward to welcoming you to the event.

ZDC Regional Night allows pilots to experience one of our minor airports. Local and overlying air traffic controllers will be providing service for those looking to explore the area, practice instrument approaches, arrive from afar, or just remain in the pattern. With a single focus airport, this is the perfect opportunity to experience being sequenced at a busier airport with both IFR and VFR arrivals.

This week's event features the controlled airport of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU) which serves Raleigh, Durham, and the surrounding Research Triangle region of North Carolina as its main airport. Please come join us with your slow prop Cessna or the "fast" Cirrus Jet between 1900 to 2200 ET.
