COBB COUNTY, Ga. — It's starting to feel like baseball season once again in Braves Country.
With spring training just around the corner, the team is getting fans in gear this weekend for their annual fan-favorite Braves Fest at The Battery Atlanta and Truist Park.
The event kicks off Friday night with the Braves Fest Gala, which runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Braves fans who bought tickets will experience a night under the lights at Truist Park, with a bourbon-tasting area in the dugout as the stadium gets transformed into a "winter wonderland."
But on Saturday, all fans can experience all the fun activities Braves Fest has to offer. The day gets started at 10 a.m. and wraps up at 4 p.m. From autograph signings for the kids, baseball clinics, and photo opportunities to even just enjoying a drink in The Battery, there is plenty to do.
