Braves Fest canceled

Construction at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta is one of the reasons the Braves decided to cancel this year's fan fest in January.

The Atlanta Braves announced this week they won’t be holding Braves Fest this year.

The annual event, held in January, typically provides fans with meet-and-greet opportunities with players and coaches. However, in a statement released on Dec. 16, the Braves organization said construction at Truist Park and preparations for the All-Star Game in July led them to conclude that they would not be able to host the type of event fans deserve.

The state went on to add, “We look forward to welcoming fans back to the ballpark for unforgettable experiences next season, both on and off the field.”
