There are more headquarters of national trade and professional organizations
and associations in Washington (about 300) than in any other area of the country.
The presence of international organizations such as the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund has increased Washington's importance as one of the
principal centres for coordinating aid, trade, and finance on the international level.
The traditional Cherry Blossom Festival, held early each spring, is the oldest
of Washington's celebrations that combine the efforts of federal, civic, and
commercial personnel. In spite of their attraction for tourists, the festival parade and
crowning of a queen tend to be less important for Washingtonians than is the
explosion of blossoms around the Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial that the
festival marks.
Also popular is Washington's annual festival of American folk arts and crafts,
held for a week each summer on the Mall. This open-air display of the arts and crafts
of many regional and ethnic subcultures has become an increasingly significant
cultural event.
