Opening Weekend presented by Nucor Steel Berkeley

Opening Night presented by REV Federal Credit Union – April 5
Make plans to join us for all of the pomp and circumstance that comes along with opening night! The start of a new season is even more enjoyable when you are coming off of a third straight title. The season will get underway with a magnet schedule giveaway for the first 3,500 fans and a post-game fireworks show. We also encourage fans to wear red as we celebrate the military on a Boeing Red Shirt Friday.

Replica Ring Giveaway presented by Nucor Steel Berkeley – April 6
We think the title of “champion” has a nice ring to it. So much so that we want to get our fans involved! The first 2,000 fans to enter the ballpark will receive a replica of the team’s 2023 Carolina League championship rings featuring the famed Ravenel Bridge. Make sure to find your seat early to watch returning members of the championship team receive their rings in a pre-game ceremony.

Dog Dynasty Celebration – April 7
Celebrate the RiverDogs winning back-to-back-to-back championships in the most fitting way possible: with your dog! That’s right, the first Sunday game of the season will be a very special dog day at The Joe. Bring your pup to check out the brand-new puppy playground courtesy of Camp Bow Wow! In addition, the first 1,500 fans 12 and under will receive a Charlie T. RiverDog Dog Dynasty poster showcasing our lovable mascot with all of the hardware collected by the team over the last three seasons. It’s also the first MUSC Health Family Sunday of the season with free parking and an opportunity for kids 12 and under to run the bases after the game.

Save the Date
Championship Bobblehead Series
We think you’ll want to mark these dates on your calendar right away. Three of the most prominent players from the RiverDogs three-consecutive championship seasons will be forever immortalized in bobblehead form. Even better, the three individual bobbles will come together to form a unique scene on top of a CV-10 naval ship. Make sure you are here to complete the set!

Curtis Mead (2021) – April 17

Xavier Isaac (2023) – August 21

Mother’s Day – May 12
Join us at The Joe as we celebrate all moms! Maternal, adoptive, foster, however you're a mother, we want to honor you! We figured moms out there might appreciate a little rest and relaxation at the ballpark without their children tugging on their sleeves. To help make that possible, Kids Zone is FREE all night long! Thanks for everything you do!

Patriotic Weekend – July 4, 5, 6
There is nothing more American than baseball, fireworks and a celebration of those who serve the red, white and blue. This weekend will check those boxes and more. For the third year in a row, we are excited to play at home on July 4. That contest always provides one of the best atmospheres of the season. The game will be followed by our largest fireworks show of the year! We’ll return to the ballpark the next night and shoot off more fireworks, thanks to REV Federal Credit Union, in our typical Friday tradition on July 5. The team will be wearing red jerseys and fans are also encouraged to wear red in support of the military. Finally, the weekend concludes on Saturday with a Military Appreciation Night. Alongside Boeing, the team is once again hosting three nights dedicated to the military scattered throughout the 2024 schedule. Military members and their families can attend the game for free!

Swampy Joe – July 24
We don't mean to sound too ogreish, but what are you doing in our swamp? On this night, the Joe and its marsh next door will resemble the home of everyone’s favorite ogre. The ballpark will take on a swampy appearance and between-inning games will feature pin the tail on the donkey and a Scottish accent competition. The rest of the league will surely be green with envy.

Pickleball Night – June 5
We “dink” we have a night in mind that is sure to be a smash. On this evening, we will celebrate the fastest growing sport in America…pickleball! If you think that a dillball, filafel and flapjack are solely food-related, we’ll help teach you where they fit into the game. There is also a kitchen, but that’s not related to food either.…don’t worry we’ll explain. You might even have an opportunity to meet the Volley Llama.

Big Top Charleston – June 8
Ladies! Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! Come one, come all, to a spectacle you'll have to see to believe. Join the RiverDogs as we turn The Joe into a circus that would make Mr. Barnum proud. Do you know what the RiverDogs and a circus have in common? We each have three rings!

Mean Hot Days – July 25
You know what would be cruel this summer? If we didn't let you get into your baseball era! Tough start to the week? Shake it off and realize that you belong with us. We’ll certainly have bad blood with Kannapolis on this Thursday.
