MLB All-Star Weekend
South Florida plays hosts for the very first time to one of the best events in sports: MLB All-Star Weekend. The best baseball players from around the world will be showcasing their skills in Miami for a celebration of America’s favorite pastime.
All-Star Week is a family-friendly event featuring endless activities that keep everyone entertained and excited about baseball. Starting Friday, July 7th, with MLB All-Star FanFest at the Miami Beach Convention Center and culminating with the “88th Midsummer Classic” on Tuesday, July 11th at Marlins Park, home of the Miami Marlins.
All-Star week is THE baseball event of the year that fans plan to travel for. In fact, hotels serving the surrounding area of All-Star game venues consistently sell out. This means travel agents can expect to cash in on opportunities to assist clients with everything from flights to hotel rooms, tickets through Events 365, and much more.

About Marlins Park:
Marlins Park showcases a retractable roof and air-conditioned ballpark that is uniquely Miami. With its completion in 2012, the baseball stadium was LEED certified as the greenest MLB park of its time. It is the third-smallest stadium in the MLB, which provides a more intimate baseball viewing experience with a seating capacity of 37,442.
The Clevelander is a sports bar in Center Field that brings a little bit of South Beach to the heart of and Marlins Park. Probably among one of the more unique features of any baseball stadium, the Clevelander invites the chicest baseball fans to relax in the swimming pool, dance to top hits at the DJ stand, view plays on one of 10 TV’s, imbibe at one of three bars, and keep hunger at bay with tasty creations from the full kitchen.
