LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – It’s a big weekend for baseball beginning tonight at Las Vegas Ballpark. The Ballpark announces it will host the 2021 Mexican Baseball Fiesta on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 16-17, 2021. The popular event made its Las Vegas debut at Cashman Field in 2017 and was held at Las Vegas Ballpark in 2019. A “spring training” for teams in the Mexcian Winter Leagues, this fun, colorful and exciting event features two of the top teams in the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico – Los Naranjeros de Hermosillo and Águilas de Mexicali.

“The Mexican Pacific League is even more popular in Mexico than Major League Baseball is in the U.S.,” said Don Logan, President and COO, Las Vegas Aviators. “The energy of the fans, the music, the food, and fun make this a unique experience for all baseball fans.”

The games begins at 7:00 p.m. and tickets can be purchases HERE.
