We are past the halfway point of summer in the city, and if you have not attended a local baseball game this season then now is time. Considering this Sunday is another special edition of the Spectrum Health’s Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital Family Days, during which they’ll celebrate Latino Day with the Whitecaps, then maybe this weekend is the most fabulous time to jugar a la pelota (play ball).
Pre-game festivities provided by the Cook Arts Center will include folkloric dancers, mariachi musicians, and plenty of other Latino-centric entertainment.
The primer lanzamiento (first pitch) of the day will be from local notable Latino personalities. Even the in-between innings’ games will have plenty of lively and fun youth gaming activities that often involves the fans.
For the fully immersive Spanish experience the game will have Spanish language play by play in the third, fourth, and fifth inning during Latino Day.
And in keeping with the family theme and as an encouragement to arrive early and with your kids, the first 1,000 children through the gate will eat for free!
This is a fundraiser for the Hispanic Center of Western Michigan so take advantage of this event’s special pricing and be sure to visit TicketReturn.com and log on using: UserID: Latinonight / Password: Whitecaps
¡Jugar a la pelota!
