ATLANTA — What was set to be a star-studded celebration of baseball culture and fan engagement has been canceled this weekend as Braves Fest officials call off the event amid safety concerns.
The annual Braves Fest, originally scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta, was expected to bring fans up close with Atlanta Braves players, live entertainment, autograph sessions, and family-friendly activities. However, organizers confirmed the cancelation late Friday following ongoing adverse weather forecasts that included the threat of significant winter weather across the region.
Officials cited the safety of attendees, players and staff as the primary reason for the difficult decision, noting that unpredictable conditions could make travel and large-group gatherings unsafe. While many fans had already made plans to attend — including ticket purchases and travel arrangements — organizers are now working on updates regarding refunds, rescheduling of autograph sessions, and potential alternative events later this year.
Braves leadership expressed appreciation for the excitement and support from fans, saying, “We know how much Braves Fest means to our community, and we didn’t arrive at this decision lightly. The safety of our fans and families comes first.”
At this time, no new dates have been announced, but officials say they are exploring options to hold makeup experiences when conditions allow. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to the team’s official channels and local news for the latest information.
