PLAN LIKE A LOCAL. PLAY LIKE A PRO.

You’re not just visiting—you’re playing like a local. Here’s how to do All-Star Week in Cobb the right way:

Quick tips to maximize the experience

With events stretching all week it pays to get a headstart. Plan your routes, locate parking and rideshare zones and get familiar with the area before first pitch

Georgia in July is no joke, hot and humid. Think lightweight fabrics, sunscreen, misting zones, and an iced coffee from local spots like Cultivate, Rev Coffee, or Cool Beans.

From the Home Run Derby to fan activations, don’t miss a minute of the action. Check the official MLB All-Star Week schedule for the latest updates.

Your Cobb day-pack should include: phone charger, ballcap, sunscreen, comfy shoes, cashless payment options, and your game face. Want to knock it out of the park? Toss a mini-fan in your bag.
