Due to ongoing construction at Truist Park and Battery Atlanta, the popular preseason Braves Fest won’t take place in January.

The team estimated around 90,000 fans held tickets for the January 2024 event, where fans mingled with players and coaches in and around the ballpark weeks before the team headed south for spring training. But with ongoing construction in advance of the 2025 MLB All-Star game, the franchise decided against hosting an event next month considering ‘we would not be able to host the type of event that our fans deserve and have grown to love.’
