A Milestone Celebration on the Delaware
From July 10 through July 14, 2026, Philadelphia will transform into the epicenter of baseball’s midsummer showcase. The city has secured the dates for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game and the surrounding All-Star Week, a five‑day itinerary that blends competition with community celebration.
Star Power at Citizens Bank Park
Games will be played at Citizens Bank Park, where the nation’s biggest names in the sport will take the field. Fans can look forward to the debut of the Schwarbomb Sundae, a dessert named for slugger Kyle Schwarber that will be served at the ballpark’s concession stands. The presence of veteran star Ken Griffey Jr. adds historic resonance to the event, reminding attendees of the game’s enduring legends.
Beyond the Diamond
The schedule extends well beyond the main game. The HBCU Swingman Classic will spotlight top Division I HBCU baseball talent, while Capital One’s All-Star Village promises interactive attractions, autograph sessions, and a marketplace of baseball-themed experiences. A live draft watch party will be staged at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, giving followers a chance to follow the next wave of prospects in real time.
Historic Landmarks and Waterfront Fun
Philadelphia’s iconic sites will be woven into the festivities. The Ben Franklin Bridge, celebrating its 100th anniversary, will host live music and food‑truck gatherings along its spans. Meanwhile, the Philly Phlotilla will see more than 100 kayakers navigate the city’s waterways, turning the river into a moving celebration of local culture.
A Citywide Experience
Beyond the stadium and the river, the city’s historic public market, Reading Terminal Market, will open its doors to over 75 vendors offering regional specialties. Visitors can sample everything from classic Philly cheesesteaks to innovative culinary creations that reflect the city’s diverse neighborhoods. For those who prefer to watch without a ticket, Stateside Live! will provide a free viewing area to catch the All-Star Game broadcast.
The T-Mobile Home Run Derby will close the week with a display of power from eight of the sport’s most prolific bats, while the All-Star 3-on-3 format makes its Philadelphia debut, promising a fast‑paced showcase of talent. Together, these elements create a week that honors baseball’s past, celebrates its present, and invests in its future across the city’s streets, parks, and waterfronts.
