Experience the Magic of Spring at the Greenport Cherry Blossom Festival

As the chill of winter gives way to warmer breezes, Greenport comes alive in a spectacular display of soft pinks and whites. From late April through May, over 300 cherry and pear trees burst into bloom throughout our charming village, transforming Greenport into a breathtaking springtime destination — and you’re invited to be part of it.

The Greenport Cherry Blossom Festival and Petal Tour is a month-long celebration of spring’s beauty and community spirit. Local businesses, artists, and organizations come together to welcome visitors with blossom-themed specials, events, and experiences. Think floral-inspired cocktails, art exhibits, live performances, and even hands-on craft workshops — all designed to capture the joy and fleeting beauty of cherry blossom season.

A helpful festival map, available both to print and view digitally at agrocouncil.org, guides visitors through the village’s tree-lined streets and pinpoints not just the blooming trees, but also the participating shops and events. Whether you’re a local or a weekend traveler, this self-guided Petal Tour is a perfect way to explore Greenport’s hidden gems and connect with the local culture.

And for those planning a spring escape, this year’s festival includes discounted hotel stays complete with blossom-themed add-ons — so you can turn your visit into a full-blown spring getaway.

Here at the Floyd Memorial Library, we’re proud to be part of this vibrant community and encourage visitors to stop by during the festival. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to take in the views, borrow a good book for your park stroll, or learn more about the flora of our region, our doors are open.

Spring doesn’t last forever — and that’s part of what makes this celebration so special. Join us in savoring every blooming moment in Greenport.
