From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the National Cherry Blossom Festival released new attendee data that highlights the success of the 2024 Festival and its economic and tourism impact on Washington, DC and the surrounding area.
“Washington, DC is proud to host the National Cherry Blossom Festival every spring, not only because it is an economic driver for our residents and businesses, but also because it is a point of pride that allows us to showcase our city to visitors from across the country and around the world,” said Mayor Bowser. “Last year, we set a new tourism record, and it is because we have fantastic events and attractions like the National Cherry Blossom Festival.”
The 2024 National Cherry Blossom Festival drew 1.6 million attendees to Washington, DC and its surrounding areas, eclipsing the pre-pandemic 2019 estimate of 1.5 million attendees. The estimated visitor spending in the District alone totaled $202 million, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This weekend I called 911 for someone passed out in front of my boyfriend’s apartment building in DC. They were breathing but more slowly and had blood on their face. The 911 operator, when learning that the person was not responsive to my voice, told me that I should start CPR. Now, I’m a former EMT – I know this person didn’t need CPR, they were clearly breathing. I told the operator on the line that CPR wouldn’t be necessary and I also am not comfortable performing it without having gloves given the blood on the person. In response, the operator said, “just to let you know, this is a recorded line, so are you declining to perform CPR?” (more…)
