Join us for the Grand Slam Campout!
NEW FOR 2026! Experience Peoria Sports Complex like never before at the Grand Slam Campout, an overnight adventure taking place Saturday, October 17 through Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 5 PM to 7 AM.
For one special night, the outfield at Peoria Sports Complex will transform into a campground where families can pitch a tent and spend the night on the same field used by professional baseball players. Campers can enjoy an evening filled with a showing of Angels in the Outfield on the videoboard, games, activities, and plenty of opportunities to explore the ballpark before settling in for a night under the stars. While the campout is on the field, the Desert West Night Market will be on the main concourse for campers to interact with all of the specialty vendors and food trucks from 5pm to 9pm!
Whether you're a baseball fan, an experienced camper, or just looking for a unique family adventure, the Grand Slam Campout offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the ballpark after dark.
