2018 Padres FanFest Details Revealed

Annual Petco Park Padres party adds new fan events

San Diego Padres FanFest is back!

The 2018 edition will take place on Saturday, January 13, at Petco Park from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You can get in for free but you have to get your entry tickets online prior to the event. To do that, visit www.padres.com/fanfest where you can claim up to eight complimentary tickets for the event.

Now, what are you going to see when you get there? Lots of fun stuff. As in years past you’ll see Padres photo booths, KidsFest with bounce houses, games and face painting, and the Military and First Responder Zone. Fans can also enjoy activities on the field, including kids running the bases, catching fly balls in center field, throwing three pitches in the visitor’s bullpen, and viewing the Grounds Crew field maintenance equipment.

The Padres Foundation Garage Sale at the Park Blvd Gate Plaza is back. Fans can get memorabilia and collectibles with all proceeds benefitting the Padres Foundation’s charitable efforts.

Padres players, alumni and broadcasters will sign autographs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at three designated locations around Petco Park on a first-come, first-served basis.
