No home games until March 25, then Petalpalooza and the Red Sox in April

Nationals baseball is off until Thursday, March 25, 2027, the earliest home opener in the team's history. Lonely Planet ranks January through March cheapest citywide, February first, so the cheap months and the off-season mostly overlap here. Momondo's data points to August instead. We found no Sunday-to-Thursday rate split for Navy Yard itself.

Nine days after Opening Day, Petalpalooza takes the riverfront on Saturday, April 3, 2027. It is part of the Cherry Blossom Festival (March 20 to April 11, its 100th anniversary), and the organizer expects 10,000 to 50,000 people, with fireworks around 8:30 PM. The Red Sox visit April 9 to 11 and the Dodgers April 23 to 25. A home stand runs July 2 to 11, with the Athletics over the Fourth. A lockout could cancel the March and April games. NPS posts no peak-bloom forecast this early. The Convention Center, outside this area, has the Society for Neuroscience from November 14 to 18 and the Washington, DC Auto Show from January 22 to 31, 2027.

Parking here costs more than either hotel fee we read. The Courtyard's limited self-parking is $55.46 a day, and valet runs $64 to $71 at the AC, the Residence Inn, Hampton and Homewood, with special event rates at Hampton. Of the six booking screens read, Thompson's carries a $32 daily destination fee and the AC's a $25 one, which Marriott counts inside its listed rate. Hampton, the Residence Inn, the Courtyard and Homewood showed none, and Cambria's is not read yet. The District's 15.95% room tax comes separately from any of those fees. The Green Line stops at Navy Yard-Ballpark, and an evening game ends around 10 PM, well before Metro closes.
