Every July, MLB All-Star Week brings together the sport's top players, future stars, and fans from around the world for several days of competition and celebration. The festivities include the MLB Draft, the Home Run Derby, and the MLB All-Star Game.

Running throughout All-Star Week, the interactive experience features batting cages, pitching challenges, baseball-themed games, photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, live entertainment, and appearances from MLB legends and current players. 

 

Families can also enjoy youth activities, autograph sessions, exhibits, and local ballpark-inspired food, making it one of the week's most accessible events for fans of all ages. The Convention Center will also host the opening rounds of the 2026 MLB Draft, giving visitors the unique opportunity to experience one of baseball's marquee events in person.

 

The celebration begins with the MLB Draft, where baseball's top collegiate and high school prospects hear their names called and take the first step toward their Major League careers.

 

The excitement continues at Citizens Bank Park with a lineup of can't-miss events, including the HBCU Swingman Classic, the MLB All-Star Futures Game, MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3, the Home Run Derby, and the MLB All-Star Game.
