San Jose, CA – The San Jose Giants, alongside the Rotary Club of San Jose, announced today that they will host San Jose’s premier Independence Celebration on Wednesday, July 3 and Thursday, July 4. Tickets for both dates are on sale now at sjgiants.com.
The festivities begin on July 3 when the Giants take on the Stockton Ports (Oakland A’s Affiliate), with the biggest fireworks show of the season following the final out. Then, on the 4th of July, Excite Ballpark will play host to San Jose’s Star Spangled Fourth – a ballpark event featuring Country Music Artist Matt Stell and San Jose’s largest Independence Day fireworks show.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with the Rotary Club of San Jose, and its 110-year history of service to the community, to light up the sky above Excite Ballpark to celebrate Independence Day," said Ben Taylor, San Jose Giants General Manager. “Whether you get a ticket inside the stadium or choose to enjoy from just outside the gates, July 3 and 4 are sure to be unforgettable events as we welcome San Jose and the broader Silicon Valley."
First pitch for July 3 is scheduled for 6:30 PM. Various ticket options are available for that evening’s ballgame including a special Tukey Mike’s BBQ Independence Day buffet, VIP group areas and seating throughout the main stadium grandstand.
San Jose’s Star Spangled Fourth will bring a unique twist to the ballpark experience, as families in attendance will be treated to non-baseball entertainment all evening long. Country Music Artist Matt Stell, whose singles “Prayed for You” and “Everywhere But On” both reached #1 in the US, will kick things off alongside his opening act courtesy of BAY Country 94.5. Immediately following the concert, the community will enjoy San Jose’s premier Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza, presented by the Rotary Club of San Jose.
“We are really excited about the new direction of bringing more fireworks and celebration to Bay Area families. Not just one night, but two, of even bigger pyrotechnic displays that simply were not possible at our previous location. The San Jose Giants are an experienced leader in hospitality that will serve more fans and families in our community, and that’s what Rotary is all about.” said Heather Lerner, President Elect of Rotary San Jose.
On July 4, the Excite Ballpark gates will open at 5 PM for fans to enjoy the full array of food and beverage options at the ballpark before the concert begins at 7 PM. Admission for the event is $25. Those interested in group tickets for either event are encouraged to reach out to [email protected] for a Giants’ representative to assist in purchasing.
The San Jose Giants return home as they begin a six-game homestand against the Modesto Nuts tonight. For more information on ticket offers call 408.297.1435, visit the Excite Ballpark Box Office or log on to sjgiants.com.
