Celebrate Opening Weekend At PETCO Park’s Ginormous, FREE Block Party!

Opening Day Block Party Weekend

San Diego! Petco Park is throwing its 7th Annual East Village Opening Weekend Block Party, and this is one you just can’t miss!

On Friday, April 7th from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 8th from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., this free, family-friendly event has become a San Diego tradition where locals and visitors celebrate opening day at PETCO Park while exploring East Village—San Diego’s largest livable urban neighborhood.

The Block Party is going down on J Street between 6th & 10th, and coincides with the 2017 PETCO Park season opener ballgame which will feature the San Diego Padres as they take on the San Francisco Giants.

Tickets for the ballgame must be purchased separately but whether you make it into the game or not, the Block Party will be the place to be to show off your team spirit and send our team into a season of success!

Opening Day Block Party Weekend

Root for your home team as you rock out to live entertainment from local bands and DJs, and test your own sporty skills in the Block Party’s interactive game zone!

Of course, a day out to the ballgame would not be complete without creative beverages, so quench your thirst at the micro-brew beer garden featuring local craft beer and baseball-themed cocktails.

East Village restaurants and food trucks will line the streets to satisfy your hunger and get you ready for the games!

And the whole family can enjoy the Opening Weekend Day Block Party! Bring the kids and get them in the spirit with baseball themed games, jump houses, a rock wall, and other hands on activities.
