A few new events and happenings to mention, along with some reminders:
*
South on South Capitol: The Fairgrounds folks are launching a "
South on South Capitol" southern rock concert series, featuring local and regional country and southern rock bands, along with mechanical bull rides (!), food trucks, and the Bullpen bar. The first one is
scheduled for May 25, then June 22, July 27, and Aug. 24. (They're all Fridays.) Admission is free.
And, speaking of Fairgrounds, there's a corrected list of dates for their
Sunday Family Days, which are just once a month (next one on June 3).
*
Ladies Night: The Nats' first
Ladies Night of the 2012 season is Thursday (May 17), and they're going with a "Pretty in Pink" theme along with a Majestic women's apparel fashion show, drink specials, games, prizes, music, and whatnot. VIP tickets are $40 and include access to the party tent at 1st and Potomac from 5 to 7 pm along with special group seating. If you can't make the tent happy hour, you can buy a $25 ticket and enjoy the Scoreboard Pavilion festivities. (The
tickets include a $10 concession credit.)
*
Bike to Work: Friday, May 18 is
Bike to Work Day, and the Yards Park is one of the pit stops, from 7 to 9 am. Alas, the free t-shirts for the first 11,000 registrants have already been snapped up, but you probably already own a t-shirt or two anyway.
*
Battle of the Beltways: Be forewarned that the right-near-first-place (!) Orioles are coming to
Nats Park for a
Friday-Sunday interleague series, and so all three games will probably bring a lot of fans and traffic.
