Tickets for the Jumbo Shrimp’s Independence Day Fireworks Celebration must be either printed in advance or displayed on a mobile device. In order to access the ballpark, guests will need to present their ticket at their designated entry point and have all members of their party together at time of entry.
Parking for attendees of the celebration will be complimentary in Lot Z. Guests will be asked to show their tickets to the event to the attendant to gain access to the lot.
All guests will enter 121 Financial Ballpark via the Third Base Gate, on A. Philip Randolph directly across from the arena.
Inside the ballpark, no outside food or beverage will be permitted. Concessions will be available for purchase and also cashless, meaning guests must come prepared with card payment options.
