Charlotte’s West Boulevard Corridor to Host 2026 Carolinas Metro Reds Invitational
Former Major League Baseball pitcher Morris Madden is spearheading a three‑day youth baseball and community celebration in Charlotte’s West Boulevard Corridor, scheduled to begin on August 8 at the Southview Community Recreation Center.
The event, known as the 2026 Carolinas Metro Reds Invitational, is being presented by the Carolinas Metro Reds Baseball Family in partnership with the Renaissance West Community Initiative.
Competitive youth baseball will anchor the festivities, complemented by a lineup of food trucks, local vendors, and a community blood drive organized in collaboration with regional health partners.
Families are invited to enjoy a variety of activities designed for all ages, with attendees encouraged to bring lawn chairs to settle in for the weekend of sport and camaraderie.
