Crustacean Nation is invited to celebrate Opening Day even earlier in 2022, as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are hosting an Opening Day Street Festival from 4-7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5 on A. Philip Randolph Blvd leading up to the club’s season-opening 7:05 p.m. game at 121 Financial Ballpark.
A. Philip Randolph Blvd will be completely closed off on the block between the ballpark and VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena for several attractions, including a climbing wall, street games and interactive vendor booths. A DJ and local high school drumline will provide music on-site for the festivities.
With the street festival running from 4-7 p.m. outside the ballpark, gates open at 6 p.m. for fans to get inside the ballpark. The first 3,000 fans through the gates will receive a 2022 magnet schedule presented by DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jacksonville Riverfront. The Jumbo Shrimp 2022 season presented by FIS will get underway at 7:05 p.m. when Jacksonville hosts the Worcester Red Sox, Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Following the game, fans can enjoy the first of 22 postgame fireworks shows this season.
