The festivities will kick off at 5:30 PM and run until 9:00 PM, with a dynamic lineup of activities designed to engage all ages. Headlining the night will be local favorites, the “Fam Jam” band, who will bring their unique blend of musical genres to the stage from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Their upbeat, family-friendly tunes are sure to get everyone on their feet, creating the perfect atmosphere for a lively night.

But the fun doesn’t stop with the music. At 8:00 PM, the spotlight will shift to a special Sloppy Joes Softball game, on the ASStro turf, all in the name of Kickin’ Cancer. Two local men’s softball teams known as the “Sloppy Joes” will play a competitive game of softball adding a spirited touch to the evening as they come together to raise awareness and support for those battling cancer. The Sloppy Joes Softball game is bound to be a crowd-pleaser, blending athletic fun with a meaningful cause.

Other activities include the opportunity to try out disc golfing with equipment provided by Kuhl Disc, a local Disc Golf company and proud supporter of Kickin’ Cancer. There will also be a gaming lodge set up for the kids.

Food will be available for purchase onsite from Volcanoes Stadium concessions.
