Plan your Richmond Flying Squirrels visits in 2020

The Richmond Flying Squirrels announced the promotional schedule for the upcoming 2020 season on Thursday, a FUNN-filled schedule of 24 fireworks shows, celebrity appearances, bobblehead giveaways, T-shirt giveaways and much more.

The full promotional schedule can be found here. Individual tickets for the 2020 season will go on sale in person at Nutzy’s Block Party on Sat., March 7 at The Diamond at 10 a.m., and online individual-game ticket sales will begin at 11 a.m. at SquirrelsBaseball.com/Tickets.

“My first thought on seeing the 2020 promo schedule was, ‘Wow, there are so many memories to be made from this awesome array of activities, themes and giveaways,’” Flying Squirrels VP & COO Todd “Parney” Parnell said. “We couldn’t be prouder of our staff for thinking inside and outside of the box to come up with what we feel is a FUNN promotional calendar for everybody.”

Fans will be treated to 24 fireworks shows during the upcoming season, including special Dueling Fireworks on Opening Night (April 16) and Independence Day (July 4). There are also three special Sunday-night In-Your-Face Fireworks shows on the schedule, including Father’s Day (June 20) presented by Applegate, July 5 as part of Independence Weekend and on Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 6).
