Witnessing the cherry blossom bloom is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, which perhaps is part of what makes these delicate flowers so very special. The beautiful varieties of pink and white flowers only bloom for about two weeks in early spring (mid-March), depending on weather and other factors, so it's a fleeting moment of spring magic.

Throughout Atlanta and the surrounding area, there are great spots to see cherry blossoms and celebrate the rebirth of spring. From parks and gardens to family-friendly festivals devoted to cherry blossoms, we've collected some captivating places to enjoy and see cherry blossoms near Atlanta.
