The force is awakening again. But this time, it won’t be in a galaxy far, far away. No, this time, it will be in our galaxy. In Houston, Texas, in fact, at Minute Maid Park. Yes, you guessed it: the Houston Astros Star Wars Night is coming up!
Except this year, it goes way beyond Star Wars Night. See, if you had fun last year, guess what? You weren’t the only one. Star Wars Night was so popular last year that this year they extended it to a whole weekend!
Star Wars Weekend takes place from Friday, May 3, 2024, through Sunday, May 5, 2024 (basically the weekend of Star Wars Day, May the 4th). This is when the Houston Astros will play the Seattle Mariners in what should be a great baseball series.
Star Wars Night is full of lots of family-friendly entertainment including fun photo opportunities.
Here’s some of what you can expect:
- Friday Night
- Pre-Game Happy House with drink specials, games & music
- Star Wars-themed Friday Night Fireworks
- Saturday & Sunday
- Meet your favorite Star Wars characters & enjoy great photo opportunities before the game
Fans are even encouraged to dress up in costume. You can find some great Star Wars costumes here.
Please note, though, that while costumes are encouraged and you can bring masks into the ballpark, full facial coverings cannot be worn. You can also bring in Star Wars toy weapons as long as they are not replicas of actual weapons.
Star Wars Night Tickets
If you don’t already have tickets to the game, you can purchase a special ticket package. This gets you not only admission to the game, but a fun Star Wars Night freebie: a Star Wars-themed Kyle Tucker Jedi Bobblehead. In order to get the bobblehead, you can purchase the special ticket package here.
But you don’t have to get the special ticket package to enjoy Star Wars Night. You can still dress up and have a lot of fun at the game without it. And you can save money this way, too, because there are cheap tickets to the game available here.
