Each year, the cherry trees at the Athens campus, planted along the bike path along the Hocking River will bloom sometime near the end of March - early April (depending on weather and ground temperatures). The trees will be illuminated each night from 8:00-10:00 PM.

You can follow along with the progress of the blooms at www.ohio.edu/cherry-blossoms and through social media (Office of Global Affairs Twitter , Instagram , Facebook ). Use #OHIOCherryBlossoms to share your photos!

OHIO encourages our community to enjoy the cherry blossoms safely by following  COVID-19 safety recommendations , including at least six feet of physical distance, wearing masks, and visiting only with members of your household.
