Washington Nationals
An action-packed schedule, home runs and Racing Presidents add up to one exciting baseball experience in the District.
The Washington Nationals’ schedule delivers can't-miss matchups throughout the season. Look forward to showdowns with former Nationals All-Stars Juan Soto and Bryce Harper when the New York Yankees (Aug. 26-28) and Philadelphia Phillies (Sept. 27-29) come to town. And if you thought the National Mall’s Independence Day fireworks display was something to behold, wait until you see the sparks fly during the Nats' July Fourth matchup against a heated division rival in the New York Mets. The Nats also offer deals and steals every Tuesday night, including tickets starting at just $9, $10 parking and $3-$4-$5 menu items like pretzels, hot dogs and pizzas.
Note that backpacks and bags that exceed 16"x16"x8"are now prohibited inside Nationals Park. Make sure to read the full Nationals bag policy before heading to the game.
DC is a culinary capital and Nationals Park is one of the best ballparks for food in the MLB. Down a Ben’s Chili Bowl half-smoke, DC’s signature take on a hot dog, inhale a burger and shake from Shake Shack or try plenty of other delicious bites. Check out our full guide of where to eat and drink at the ballpark.
Held in the middle of the fourth inning, the GEICO Presidents Race features a footrace with Mount Rushmore all-stars Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and the oft luckless Teddy Roosevelt.
The Nats have a robust promotions schedule featuring exciting events for the whole family. Bring your canine to Pups in the Park, or catch a Sunday regular season home game where kids between the ages of 4 and 12 can run the bases for free. The details: each child must be accompanied by an adult, participants must exit the ballpark through the Right Field Gate, the line forms outside of the park on the sidewalk along First Street starting in the seventh inning. Kids 12 and under can also get a free meal during every home game this season.
Nationals Park was built along the Anacostia River, and is situated within the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood. There’s lots to do before and after games in the area, from kayaking at the Ballpark Boathouse to sipping suds from Bluejacket Brewery and vino at District Winery to walking through The Yards Park.
