The Innings Festival
Located in Tempe, Arizona, the Innings Festival continues to be the premier destination for fans of both baseball and music. The two-day fest is held in the beautiful environs of the Tempe Arts Park and Tempe Beach, 17 acres surrounded by gorgeous views of the nearby Papago Mountains that creates an intimate, interactive experience for festivalgoers. Occuring at the end of February and beginning of March, it coincides with the start of the Cactus League's MLB Spring Training (also hosted in Tempe). With batting cages and pitching booths, not to mention Stella Rosa wine and Jack Daniel's whiskey lounges, it's an ideal fusion of art and sport.
Each year, the Innings Festival continues its tradition of stacking the music bill with a mix of the classic and the cutting-edge. With a tight lineup and two main stages, the easy pace allows for each act to shine and be heard, eliminating the need to sprint to see your favorite band.
