Fray, a group that puts on games and trips for D.C. locals, and for $25 you can score tickets to watch the Washington Nationals take on the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition to great seats in the Scoreboard Pavilion section, you’ll get pre-game drink specials like $3 Bud Lights at Due South, a Southern-inspired restaurant just steps from the stadium.

There will be workshops held at the festival with Kankouran West African Dancer and Drummers and M Street Yoga, as well as various plein air artists who will showcase their outdoor painting technique.
