The First Homestand of the Summer Saw 9 Games of Fun Packed Into 10 Days!

The Edmonton Riverhawks got off to a hot start at home both on the field and in the stands!

We kicked off the summer with an action-packed nine-game homestand filled with wacky theme nights, walk-off wins, a new WCL attendance record, a series sweep and 7 wins in front of our hometown crowd!

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Nearly 6,000 fans joined us for our 2024 Home Opener and Indigenous Celebration Night, broadcasted in Cree by Raven FM!
  • We unveiled our 2024 alternate identity, the Silver City Dragons, based on the iconic fire-breathing dragon that was once home to the Silver City Theatre in West Edmonton Mall.
  • The kids of Edmonton took over RE/MAX Field for School Spirit & Mascot Mania day that featured explosive science experiments on the field, a frisbee catching dog and over a dozen lovable local mascots! Over 7,850 fans crashed the stands, a new West Coast League single game attendance record!
  • The “Swifties” took the field for a Friday night T-Swift Dance Party and dazzling light show courtesy of Uncle John's Fireworks! The in-stadium auction of the popular Swifties jerseys raised nearly $6,000 for the local non-profit, the YWCA.
  • Father's Day was celebrated with an antique car parade, fabulous performances from Griesbach Dance Academy, dogs in the stands, and a thrilling walk-off win, all while repping vintage ’90s Trappers jerseys!

The Hawks are currently on the road for a 6-game BC tour but are set to return home on June 25th for the start of another exciting homestand!

On Tuesday night, we’re bringing the dinos back to life with the help of the Telus World of Science! Plus it’s Toonie Tuesday! Buy one general admission ticket at the box office and get the second for only $2. You can also enjoy $2 hotdogs and water all game long.

On Wednesday, join us for a beach party extravaganza as we celebrate the last day of school in YEG with Chuck 92.5! Teachers with an ATA card get in FREE at the box office because, let’s be real, we all know who truly deserves the celebration! This is also our first Winning Wednesday of the season! We guarantee the Riverhawks will come away with a win - or else every fan in attendance receives a free general admission ticket to the game the next night!

RE/MAX Field will be getting a spooky makeover on Thursday night when we join forces with Deadmonton to bring you Homers and Halloween! Kiddos under 12 who come dressed up in their Halloween costumes will get in free, and we have another treat up our sleeve for the adults because it’s also Thirsty Thursday which means we’re serving up draft beers for just $5!

Saturday night we’re celebrating LOVE! Join us for a Pride Month party with MacEwan University as we welcome Pride Tape, Party Queen Drag performers, and local 2SLGBTQ+ leaders to the ballpark! Plus, you can grab our new Riverhawks pride jerseys that will be up for auction with proceeds going to MacEwans Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity.

On Sunday we’re staging our annual player card giveaway presented by Save-On-Foods! Join the Riverhawks team on the field to get your hands on a set of 2024 baseball cards, signed by the players themselves! And don’t forget about the Barking Bleachers set aside for fans and their four-legged pals!

To cap off the weekend, join us on Monday, July 1st, for our Canada Day Celebration with Global Edmonton! Come to the park early to experience a powerful Canadian Citizenship Ceremony right on the field before the game. Stick around post-game for one of our biggest parties of the summer, featuring performances by Brasstactics and Rockzilla, hot air balloon rides, and an unparalleled view of the City of Edmonton’s spectacular fireworks show!
