Phillies Gear Up for 2026 All-Star Game with Fan Festivities

The countdown to the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia has begun, and the Phillies are inviting fans to join the festivities.

Starting Friday at noon, Dilworth Park will host the official unveiling of the All-Star logo, a significant milestone for the city.

Notable Phillies alumni, including Larry Bowa, John Kruk, Ryan Howard, and Cole Hamels, will be present to celebrate this occasion.

Adding to the excitement, The Roots are set to perform at this free event, promising an engaging atmosphere for attendees.

At 2 p.m., the All-Star Declaration bus will embark on a tour around the city, making stops at iconic locations such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Independence Mall, the Betsy Ross House, and Citizens Bank Park before the evening's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

This upcoming All-Star Game marks a historic moment as it will be the fifth time Philadelphia hosts the Midsummer Classic, and notably, the first at Citizens Bank Park. This event coincides with America's 250th birthday, making it a double celebration for the city.
