Get ready for an exciting summer in Winnipeg as the Goldeyes, the city's baseball team, gears up to host some incredible events at Blue Cross Park. In July, the park will come alive with the legendary Neil Young & Crazy Horse, along with two exciting festivals. This article will give you all the details you need to know about these upcoming events.
The Goldeyes' vice-president and COO, Regan Katz, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming events, including the Country Rising and Tacos and Tequila festivals. Thanks to Live Nation, they were able to secure Neil Young as a performer in Winnipeg. Katz believes that Blue Cross Park, with its outdoor ballpark setting, is the perfect venue for Young's Love Earth Tour.
Blue Cross Park has a rich history of hosting concerts over its 25-year existence. Renowned artists such as The Tragically Hip, The Guess Who, Tom Cochrane & Red Rider, and Skrillex have all graced the stage at this iconic ballpark. In 2021, the park celebrated Manitoba's 150th birthday with the Unite 150 concert, featuring performances by Bachman-Cummings, Cochrane, Doc Walker, and others.
Country Rising Music Festival: A Must-Attend Event for Music Lovers
Country music fans, mark your calendars for July 26! The Goldeyes will be hosting the Country Rising Music Festival at Blue Cross Park, featuring headline performances by The Brothers Osborne, Dallas Smith, and The Reklaws. But even if country music isn't your preferred genre, this festival promises to be a blast for everyone.
Aside from the fantastic music, the Country Rising Music Festival will also offer whiskey sampling and flashback cars, adding to the overall experience. So, grab your cowboy hat and get ready for a day of great music, good vibes, and unforgettable memories.
Tacos and Tequila Festival: A Fiesta of Flavors and Fun
If you're a fan of tacos, tequila, and throwback hip-hop, then the Tacos and Tequila Festival on July 27 is the place to be. This festival will transport you back to the '90s and 2000s with performances by Lil Jon, Chingy, and other artists from that era.
But it's not just about the music. The Tacos and Tequila Festival will also showcase local taco chefs, a tequila tasting lounge, lucha libre wrestling, a Chihuahua beauty pageant, and even a salsa and queso competition. It's a fiesta of flavors and fun that you won't want to miss!
Why Blue Cross Park is the Perfect Venue for These Events
Blue Cross Park, formerly known as CanWest Global Park and Shaw Park, has a long-standing tradition of hosting concerts and events. With its recent renovations, the park offers a fantastic setting for these upcoming festivals and Neil Young's performance.
Not only does Blue Cross Park have the necessary amenities to accommodate festival-goers, but it also prides itself on supporting local businesses. The Craft Beer Corner, introduced by the Goldeyes in 2018, features a rotating selection of beers from local breweries, adding to the overall experience.
Furthermore, hosting these festivals at a ballpark is a logical choice for the Goldeyes. With their busy AA season schedule, the ballpark's facilities can easily handle the needs of both baseball games and large-scale events. And let's not forget about the beautiful Winnipeg summers, providing the perfect backdrop for outdoor festivities.
Excitement Builds for the Winnipeg Goldeyes' 31st Season
As the Winnipeg Goldeyes prepare for their 31st season in the city, excitement is in the air. The team's vice-president and COO, Regan Katz, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season and the team's new manager.
Katz assured fans that the organization is building an exciting team and is looking forward to what lies ahead. The home opener is scheduled for May 21, so be sure to grab your tickets and support the Goldeyes as they take the field.
