Weekend Guide: Hey Now, You’re an All-Star

picture-4-262x300

Get your party pants on, Arizona, because MLB All-Star Week is up to bat. While all the big names in baseball work on their batting averages for the super-game, you can work on where to go see the heavy hitters in action.

Start the weekend off with the MLB All-Star FanFest at Phoenix Convention Center. The event is today but you can get a free ticket to today’s festivities with the purchase of a regular price adult. Meet your favorite players and mingle with thousands of fans at this family friendly event. Then watch your favorite’s in action at the main event, the MLB All-Star Game at Chase Field. Don’t have tickets? Head to downtown Phoenix and check out one of the many surrounding sports bars to get a piece of the action. It all starts at 8 pm.

Something else to look forward to? The food of course! How about traditional baseball cuisine being served to thousands with All-Star Eats and the addition of a few south western inspired dishes. Yes, along with over 80,000 hot dogs and 750 gallons of sliced jalapenos, Chef Michael Snoke will be churning out some new eats for the crowds. Look forward to Snake Bites (spicy chicken taquitos), Enchilada Dogs (a foot long hot dog filled with cheese and three types of chili) and The All-Star Summer Heater (a sandwich filled with Italian meats and topped with jalapeno-olive relish and pepper jack cheese) to eat with your ice cold brew.

And once the sun goes down check out Cowboy Mouth at the grand opening of Foundry on First. The opening of Phoenix’s newest music venue, rock out with visitors, locals and baseball fans alike. The Foundry on First is just minutes away from Chase Field putting you in the heart of the action for both Saturday and Sunday evening. Check out our full story and buy your tickets.

Here’s to a home run weekend!
