On Wednesday August 10th, the Greenville Drive will host their 16th annual Green Day Celebration to celebrate the city of Greenville’s 191st Birthday!

In honor of Green Day and Greenville’s birthday celebration, Drive players will wear special green uniforms and caps on Green Day. The whole stadium will be decked out in green, so the Drive encourages fans to create a “green out” by sporting green, as well. The Drive is selling a special edition GVL tee for the night and you can purchase it HERE.

The fun will start at 5:45 PM with a ribbon cutting for the official opening of District 356! This family-friendly dedication will take place right outside the Field St. gates in the middle of the new District and comes complete with the Drive’s inflatable games, face painters, balloon art, music, and more to celebrate the opening of this awesome addition to Fluor Field and the West End

When gates open at 6, the first 2,000 fans through the stadium gates will receive a commemorative Green Day t-shirt, and the first 1,000 kids will receive a commemorative Green Day cape, all courtesy of TD Bank.

In addition, Green Day Honoree Dr. Royster will be honored on the field just prior to the first pitch and again during the game. Read more about this year's honoree HERE.

Following the game, the Drive invites fans to stick around for a spectacular birthday firework show in celebration of Greenville’s birthday.

Are you a member of the Summer Reading All-Stars program? Did you meet All-Star status based on your library’s summer reading program standards? Well, Sunday afternoon is your time to shine and be celebrated for your hard work this summer!

Presented by Michelin, this program uses the fun and excitement of Greenville Drive baseball to encourage families to read all summer long. If students achieve Reading All-Star status, they earn a complimentary ticket to the game. The summer program takes advantage of the Upstate’s amazing libraries to guide and inspire students to read.

On Sunday, All-Stars will walk in a pregame parade prior to the game and get a new RAS t-shirt. Students will be recognized throughout the game as we celebrate their accomplishments!

Don’t forget to stick around for Kids Run the Bases after the game, courtesy of Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina.
