The Oklahoma City Dodgers will host their sixth annual Fan Fest Saturday, March 28 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The event is open to the public, and admission and parking are free.

“Fan Fest has developed into an exciting tradition over the past few years,” said OKC Dodgers President/General Manager Michael Byrnes. “It’s that time on the calendar when fans are itching to get back to Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark and we are eager to host them as we get ready to begin a new season.”
Easter Egg Hunt
Fan Fest will get into the Easter spirit early, offering an Easter Egg Hunt on the outfield grass for all children 12 years old and younger.
