2024 Charlotte Knights Promo Guide

Ahhhh, the smell of freshly cut grass, the savory taste of salty buttered popcorn melting onto your tongue, an ice-cold beer in your hands, and the sound of a baseball cracking off the bat. Consider this your sign to hurry up and come to a Knights game.

We're about halfway through the 2024 season (already... sigh) but there's plenty more fun in store at Truist Field all summer long!

Need a refresher on what's to come? Here's a little hint: we added even MORE! Tickets are available now for every upcoming game, so get them here!

GIVEAWAYS AND CELEB APPEARANCES:

Lot's more to give away and we've got some baseball superstars joining us in August.

Let's start with what giveaways we've got left. Here are the details:

Witches and Wizards Night Scarves Giveaway (Witches and Wizards Night: Friday, July 12th)

BARK IN THE BALLPARK:

We'll provide the beer for you and the water for the pup. No seriously, there's a reason why Bark in the Ballpark is such a hit year after year, and it's because there's really no better place to take your dog than the baseball field!

Just THREE Bark in the Ballpark's presented by Obedient K9 Academy are left on the calendar.

SUNDAY FAMILY FUNDAY (ft. Character Sunday's and Kids Run the Bases)

Walk through the gates of Truist Field during any Sunday home game this season and you'll feel like you're at Disney World sans the expensive food and crazy crowds.

Watch as your kids light up with joy, discovering and meeting their favorite characters, taking photos, running the bases post-game where the big leaguers do, and making unforgettable memories that will bring not only a spark of fun to those seemingly slow days of summer, but are an affordable and unique experience for all to enjoy.

Here's the updated rundown on Sunday Family Funday's that remain (PS: We've added a few more themes!)
