Weekly Wins: Things to Do in DC 7/25 – 7/31
It’s the last week of July and it’s safe to say that was quick.
With so much to look back on so far this summer in DC (the Caps winning the cup, MLB All-Star Weekend & more), there’s hope for the same awesomeness in the coming month for us locals.
With the Citi Open, DC Field Day, and a casual visit by Beyonce and Jay-Z, there’s plenty to keep the summer fun going this week in the district.
As always, don’t forget to keep us in the loop during all your fun this week by tagging #FrayLife on social!
