PHOTOS: Scenes from Opening Day at Nationals Park

(Updated at 4:20 p.m.) The sounds of hot dog vendors, street musicians and thousands of baseball fans filled the air around Navy Yard this afternoon as the Nationals prepared to take on the New York Mets.

A sea of red and white filled Half Street SE in the hour before the 4:05 p.m. game. But some fans arrived in Navy Yard even earlier to take advantage of Bluejacket’s Opening Day Fest at 4th and Tingey streets SE and 106.7 The Fan’s Baseball Block Party at Canal Park.
