Washington Nationals Hosting Holiday-Themed Winterfest

The Washington Nationals are hosting a weekend-long event dedicated to baseball and the holiday season, titled “Winterfest.”

While the baseball season has been officially wrapped up for the last few weeks, diehard fans of the Washington Nationals can scratch their baseball itch on December 1st and 2nd at Nationals Park.
