ATLANTA - Braves fans waiting to cheer on their team will have to wait a little longer next year.

The team announced on Monday that it would not host its annual Braves Fest in January, 

The free event usually spanned Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta and featured live entertainment, food, shopping, and the chance to interact with the players.

The Braves said they decided not to hold the event due to construction projects and preparations for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

"We would not be able to host the type of event that our fans deserve and have grown to love," the Braves wrote on X. "We look forward to welcoming fans back to the ballpark for unforgettable experiences next season, both on and off the field."

Spring training will begin in February. The team's first game of the 2025 season will be against the San Diego Padres March 27. Their first home game will be April 4 when they take on the Marlins.

Our annual Braves Fest that we traditionally host in January is one of our favorite events of the year! We always enjoy providing our fans with fun and unique opportunities to meet and engage with Braves players and coaches. After much thought and discussion, we have made the decision to not host Braves Fest for 2025. With construction currently underway at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta and preparations for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, we would not be able to host the type of event that our fans deserve and have grown to love. We look forward to welcoming fans back to the ballpark for unforgettable experiences next season, both on and off the field. We hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season and we can’t wait to see you in 2025!
