Princeton in Bloom: A Springtime Stroll Through Ivory Towers and Petals

#cherryblossom25 In early April, Princeton University transforms into a canvas of pink and white, as cherry blossoms bloom across its historic campus. Notable spots include the area near Firestone Library, where early-blooming Okame cherry trees greet visitors, and the allée between Eno Hall and McCosh Health Center, which becomes a river of pink with Kwanzan cherry blossoms. The juxtaposition of Gothic architecture and delicate blossoms offers a serene setting for leisurely walks and photography. Beyond the campus, the annual Sakura Fest at 300 Witherspoon Street celebrates the season with local vendors and cultural performances, adding a festive touch to the tranquil beauty.
