April is here and DC isn’t fooling around with fun things to do this week. The Nats are back in town for their home opener at the start of the week, and the week ends with free ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s.

There’s also the 38th annual photography show, Blossom Bash, National Pillow Fight Day, Taste the Nation, and a whole lot more to look forward to this week.

Here are our picks for the best things to do in DC over the next 7 days:

Wednesday, 4/4

– More than 100 of the world’s leading fine art photography galleries will present a range of museum-quality work including contemporary, modern, and 19th century photographs, photo-based art, video, and new media at the 38th Photography Show by Association of International Photography Art Dealers. This 3 day even goes down at Pier 94 from Wednesday – Friday.

Thursday, 4/5

– The undefeated, first place Nats started the season on the road, but they’re back in DC for their home opener against the Mets this week. Will you be there for the start of the season that will (hopefully) (finally) end with a World Series title? Whether you’re going to the game or watching from the bar, don’t miss the #FrayLife Guide to Nats Opening Day.

Friday, 4/6

Join the city’s finest chefs, sommeliers and mixologists for a night of great food for an even better cause.

Tuesday, 4/10

– This year, the new Ben & Jerry’s District Wharf has teamed up with the Trust for the National Mall. All guests on Free Cone Day will get one complimentary scoop of a flavor of their choice. The event lasts from noon to 8pm.
