Don’t let the fear of Jason Voorhees keep you inside all weekend! From the last few events of the Cherry Blossom Festival to (hopefully) some home-runs, there’s plenty to do in D.C.
Washington Nationals vs. Colorado Rockies
It should be a good day for baseball with no clouds and temperature in the 70s on Friday; there is no better time to get outside and watch the Nationals take on the Rockies. If you’re feeling superstitious, bring a mit to the game to catch fly balls. Start the season off right by supporting the D.C. home team!
Tickets start at $20.
Where: Nationals Park, 1500 S Capitol St SE
When: April 13, 7:05 p.m.
Metro: Green Line to Navy Yard-Ballpark Station

Famed Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck presents fine Japanese cuisine complemented by an open bar throughout the night. Make sure to get your own custom haiku before you leave.
