The Alumni set to attend include Bronson Arroyo, Tucker Barnhart, Jeff Brantley, Marty Brennaman, Sean Casey, Danny Graves, Austin Kearns, Devin Mesoraco, Dave Miley, Sam LeCure, and Chris Welsh, among others. Marty Brennaman will only attend on Saturday, along with Danny Graves. Sean Casey and Austin Kearns will only attend on Friday.

Redsfest is a great way for fans to get together, meet other fans and social media personalities, and, more importantly, celebrate the Reds with players and other key members of the organization. Fans can engage in Q&As with players and staff, play games, and more. The first 10,000 fans to arrive each day will receive a special Redsfest drawstring bag and a sticker sheet. Season ticket holders will receive complimentary admission. 

The 2026 Prestige AV and Creative Services Rick Steiner Memorial Poker Tournament presented by BetMGM, benefiting the Reds Community Fund, will be on Saturday in the Grand Ballroom on the third floor. Tables will feature current and former Reds players, coaches, broadcasters, and local celebrities. The guests have yet to be finalized for the poker tournament.
