Faith Night was such a big hit last season that we decided to bring it back twice for 2022. The first Faith Night is May 15 presented Crosspoint City Church. The other will occur August 21. Each Faith Night will feature a post-game concert.
June 4 will welcome Marvel’s Defenders of the Diamond Night. This night will include an appearance by Marvel’s Thor and a Jersey Auction themed to Marvel’s Thor. All proceeds from the jersey auction will benefit the Atlanta Braves Foundation.

Beach Night is set to return as well. Last season was a tropical paradise at the stadium with island-themed specials all night in the concessions and Three Rivers Restaurant. We look to build further on that this season, alongside the annual jersey auction with proceeds benefitting the Atlanta Braves Foundation.
The ZOOperstars! are back in Roe on June 2. Another appearance slated in the promotional schedule is a Braves Alumni Appearance on July 7. Who will be appearing on that date is still to be determined.
