As the heart of summer heats up, so does the excitement at ShoreTown Ballpark, home of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws! This July, prepare for a calendar packed with thrilling baseball action, spectacular entertainment, and unique themed nights that promise unforgettable memories for the whole family. If you’re looking for quintessential New Jersey summer fun, look no further than a BlueClaws game in Lakewood.
You simply can’t have too many fireworks, and the BlueClaws agree! This month, they’re lighting up the night sky with three incredible post-game fireworks extravaganzas.
First up, mark your calendars for Friday, July 18th, for an out-of-this-world Star Wars Night, presented by RWJBarnabas Health. Dust off your Jedi robes or prepare your Wookiee roar, because the force will truly be with you at ShoreTown. Expect special characters, themed fun, and a dazzling display of fireworks after the final out. For the ultimate fan experience, special ticket and lightsaber packages are available, letting you truly immerse yourself in a galaxy far, far away.
Then, on Saturday, July 19th, brace yourself for the second installment of the highly anticipated Locals/Bennys rivalry game. This unique promotion sees your very own BlueClaws transform into the “Jersey Shore Locals” as they take on the Hudson Valley Renegades, who play as the “Bennys.” It’s a playful nod to the beloved (and sometimes contentious!) relationship between year-round Jersey residents and our summer visitors. Expect spirited competition, plenty of local pride, and, of course, another fantastic post-game fireworks show to cap off the night.
The fun continues on Friday, July 25th, with a festive Christmas in July celebration, presented by Wingstop. Yes, you heard that right! Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance, swapping his sleigh for a visit to ShoreTown, complete with holiday music, special promotions, and a magnificent fireworks display. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, even when the sun is shining bright!
Beyond the fireworks, July brings another truly unique event to ShoreTown Ballpark. On Saturday, July 26th, the World’s Most Autographed Baseball makes its grand appearance. As the final stop on a 15-city ballpark tour in conjunction with Major League Baseball, this colossal 8-foot baseball will be signed by thousands of fans from around the country, and you’ll have the chance to add your name to history! This extraordinary exhibit highlights the unifying power of baseball and community.
Also on Saturday, July 26th, the BlueClaws proudly host Pride Night, presented by Coca-Cola. This inclusive evening celebrates love and diversity within our community. Fans can enjoy an atmosphere of acceptance and cheer on the team, all while being entertained by The Chronicles of Rock & Roll as part of the Farro’s Tees Summer Concert Series.
And for families looking to make the most of their summer outings, don’t forget about the special Chick-fil-A Jersey Shore Friends & Family tickets. These packages offer incredible value, bundling game tickets with BlueClaws caps and Chick-fil-A meal cards – an absolute home run for an affordable and fun-filled day at the ballpark.
Whether you’re a die-hard baseball fan, a lover of dazzling fireworks, or simply looking for a fantastic family night out, the Jersey Shore BlueClaws offer an unparalleled experience. Grab your tickets and head to ShoreTown Ballpark for some unforgettable summer fun!
