Join Us for a Star-Studded Celebration: Harford 250 Night at the Ballpark!

Looking for one last big star-filled celebration this summer before the kids go back to school? Then grab your glove, gather your friends, and join us for Harford 250 Night at the Ballpark on Saturday, August 19, at 6 pm, at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD.

 See former MLB pitcher Jay Witasick throw out the first pitch; hear former US Women’s National Soccer Team defender Thori Staples Bryan guest announce an inning; and cheer on the IronBirds along with World Champion figure skater Kimmie Meissner, retired NFL great Irv Pankey, 8x World Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion Mike Atkin, and 2020 Co-captain of the Women’s Olympic Rugby team Abby Gustaitis, just a few of the honored guests who will be in attendance to celebrate Harford Sports History with us that night.

 This year, Harford County is turning 250 years old, and we are celebrating the history of Harford County sports by honoring a roster of these and many other notable Harford athletes, coaches and teams as the IronBirds take on their rival Wilmington Blue Rocks. 

 There will be giveaways, pregame sports and history displays, and postgame fireworks. And you will have a chance to nominate your own favorite athlete, coach and team for a future Harford County Sports Hall of Fame.

 Tickets available online here or at the gate. But don’t wait too long! You don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to swap stories, trade trivia, and take pride in the stellar achievements of a roster of past and present Harford sports champions.
