The 95th edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game will take place at Truist Park in Cobb County next Tuesday, but the festivities include a lot more than just the game. The HBCU Swingman Classic featuring all-stars from historically Black colleges and universities kicks off the fun at Truist on Friday. Then there’s the All-Star Futures game and the MLB All-Star celebrity softball game, a road race held in honor of Braves legend Hank Aaron, the 2025 MLB Draft which will be held at the Coca-Cola Roxy in the Battery and the ever-popular Home Run Derby, all leading up to the Midsummer Classic itself. Meanwhile the Cobb Galleria Centre will host Capital One’s All-Star Village, featuring exhibits, shops, photo-ops, food and more. Expect big crowds all week at the Battery and surrounding Cumberland area as the Braves – and their Cobb County home – get to show off their Southern hospitality to fans and players from all over the world.
