When is Padres FanFest for the 2024 Season?

Here's everything you need to know for Padres FanFest.

The San Diego Padres are holding their 2024 FanFest on Sunday, March 24. The festivities will run from 12:30-5:30 p.m, according to the team.

This means that the Padres will be holding a late FanFest, with the event not taking place until the Padres return from their Seoul Series a few days prior. The team will already have played its entire Cactus League schedule, plus two games that count, before the gathering.

The FanFest will also take place one day after the celebration of life ceremony for late owner Peter Seidler, on March 23. 

Fans can expect appearances from Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts, Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish and new manager Mike Shildt at the Padres' FanFest.

The 2024 edition of the event will also give fans the opportunity to see the renovated Gallagher Square, receive autographs from players, and watch the celebrity softball game, via Padres Communications.

Tickets will become available for Padres season ticket holders on Thursday, Feb. 15, and the rest of fans will be able to get tickets the following day, on Friday, Feb. 16. Tickets will be free.

Four days after FanFest, fans can look forward to the Padres' opening home game of the season on March 28 against the San Francisco Giants.
