WASHINGTON -- The ribbon has been cut and the 2018 Geico All-Star FanFest is officially underway.
Crowds of fans lined up outside the Walter E. Washington Convention Center early Friday morning for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and to be among the first to partake in this year's FanFest activities leading up to the the 89th MLB All-Star Game presented by Matercard on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
After saying a few words, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser grabbed a large pair of scissors and stepped up to the ribbon ready to declare FanFest officially open.
