Round Rock Express Fan Fest

Express Celebrate the Return of Baseball with Free, Family-Friendly Event at Dell Diamond

ROUND ROCK, Texas – As Dell Diamond continues to serve as the local volunteer and donation hub for the recent tornadoes, the Round Rock Express would like to invite the community to come together for the annual Fan Fest this Saturday, March 26. Fans of all ages are invited to Dell Diamond from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. to help celebrate the start of the 2022 baseball season. The free event is open to the public and includes family-friendly fun for all fans.

The celebration of America’s pastime allows fans to get back into the baseball spirit by enjoying a day of entertainment. Attendees at this year’s Fan Fest can throw heat in the Express home bullpen, swing for the fences at Home Run Dugout, take their photos with Spike on the field and experience many more activities throughout Dell Diamond. The Railyard Team Store will also be open for fans looking to get their hands on the newest Express merchandise. Attendees can scope out the exact seat location for their season memberships with full season and fireworks plans available.

The Express are also proud to partner with B.I.G. Love Cancer Care to host a donation drive during Fan Fest. Those who are able to donate are asked to bring kids toothbrushes and toothpaste, travel size deodorant, body wash, conditioner and shampoo, and washcloths. Established in 2007, B.I.G. Love Cancer Care’s primary focus is to ease the childhood cancer journey. B.I.G. Love’s core mission is to meet the most vital and urgent physical, emotional, and financial needs of pediatric oncology and hematology patients and their families whether they are in the hospital or at home. Today, B.I.G. Love reaches more than 100,000 patients and their families annually.
