As the
Fairgrounds prepares to begin its daily hours on May 4, the outdoor event space just north of
Nationals Park at Half and M is also starting to promote some of its non-gameday offerings:
* The
Truckeroo food truck festival will be back for another year, on
five Fridays this summer: May 11, June 8, July 13, Aug. 10, and Sept. 28, running from 11 am to 11 pm each time.
* There will also be a new "Family Day" event, with a
promo flyer describing it as having "carnival games and prizes, inflatable and mechanical rides, children's entertainers and live musicians," plus food trucks. Admission will be free, and scheduled dates so far are May 13, May 27, June 3, June 10, and June 24, from 11 am to 4 pm.
(Perhaps this is also good timing to finally link to
this Housing Complex post from last week showing what the site could look like if it ends up with advertising on the sides of the shipping containers, which WCP says Fairgrounds was soliciting.)
