**Tale of Two Blossoms: Blooming Bliss and Botanical Brilliance**

The Wooster Square Historical Association convened last night for their Annual Meeting. And guess what? For the 14th consecutive year (yes, you read that right), they’ve confirmed the Wooster Square Cherry Blossom Festival for 2025 will coincide with my Blossomation! (Think pink peak popping pleasure, people).

Mark your calendars for April 6, 2025.

But who could blame them?

“But really, Mr. Blossom Blogger, Sunday, April 6th? Isn’t that a bit early according to your records?” you might ask.

Good question. Two answers:

First, this has been the HOTTEST year in New England since records began. This could be the year that shatters our mid-April blooming streak.

Secondly, the Festival Committee has to juggle Palm Sunday, Easter, and Passover. After those, there are only a few Sundays left. In 2025, Palm Sunday is April 12th and Easter is April 20th. If the Cherry Blossom Festival were held on the next available Sunday, April 27th, the cherry blossoms might be feigning flowerless, sans Sakura splash.

So, if we do the Blossom Mathematics, global warming plus a late festival date equals risky business. The wise decision is to set the date for Sunday, April 6th, 2025. If the blossoms haven’t yet peaked in pink perfection, you’ll witness their transformation almost right before your eyes.

We can’t wait to ring in our 14th year of the Wooster Square Blossom Blog with all our fine, fragrant flower-following fans! But first, let’s enjoy our fall colors here in Wooster Square while we picnic in the park!

Speaking of the park, people, and picnicking, the Wooster Square Historic Association is sponsoring a Movie Night in Wooster Park! Join your neighbors and make new friends while we enjoy the Disney classic “All Dogs Go to Heaven” this October. Date to follow!

Take a peek at some of the colors that should be coming sooner rather than later
