WHAT:
CLEVELAND INDIANS/ SAN FRANCISO GIANTS
WHEN:
JULY 17TH - 19TH
WHERE:
SAN FRANCISO, CALIFORNIA
WHY:
The Tribe went seven games with the Cubs in last year’s World Series. They very well might find themselves in the Fall Classic again this season – they’re that good. AT&T Park is a stadium everyone should experience and their tenants are always great, with three World Series championships in the last seven years. So this will be some serious baseball between the Indians and the Giants and it’s another phenomenal world destination with San Francisco as your host. The trolleys, Alcatraz, some of the best dining in the world, a town full of fun history and under two hours from the legendary wines of Napa Valley.
WHAT:
THE FIVB BEACH VOLLEYBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
WHERE:
WHEN:
JULY 26TH - AUGUST 6TH
VIENNA, AUSTRIA
WHY: One of the all-time great cities, Vienna has a bragging sheet that runs the gamut from music, opera, theater and architecture to vineyards, museums and…beach volleyball. The World Championships this year bring the beach to you in Austria. What a stage for some outdoor fun featuring the best in the world. We remember growing up in Southern California where the kings of the beach ruled the sands and the pure electricity that would come from the thousands in attendance over a summer weekend. Legends like Karch Kiraly, Sinjin Smith, Randy Stoklos and Steve Timmons paved the way for today’s stars who will converge on Austria in late July through early August.
