All of us at the Edmonton Riverhawks are thrilled to share our 2024 promotional calendar with their fans. The faithful blew the Hawks away last season when almost 105-thousand of them came through the turnstiles, setting a West Coast League record in just the team’s second year of existence. We feel we’ve got some promotional gems this season but we know the fans are the ultimate judge!!!

We’re looking forward to building upon fan favourites like First Responders Night, T-Swift Dance Party and Baseball Goes Bollywood with a lineup of exciting new themes, contests and giveaways for 2024!

After the overwhelming response our Talus Balls Jerseys garnered last summer, we have a new Edmonton-inspired jersey and it is on FIRE! It will anchor a line up of 5 new sassy theme jerseys!

We always listen to our fans and they’re the ones behind our brand-new Sunday promotion: The Barking Bleachers fed by Homes Alive Pets! Pet owners wanted more than just one game so at every Sunday game this summer they can bring their furry friends to a howling good time in their own section on the third base line!

You can check out our complete promotional schedule here and read more about each theme night below!

We get to stage our first Home Opener on a Friday so let’s get ready to usher in the new season with a great party!  The land that we work, live, and play on has been a gathering ground for thousands of years. We are so honoured our Indigenous friends will lead off the show with amazing songs, dances and a cool “Indian Relay” race! We’ll also hit the bases postgame for a Round Dance for Reconciliation on the field.

Did we say it’s a Friday?! You know what that means. We’ll have an unbelievable light show presented by Uncle John's Fireworks to end the night with a splash!

Viva Las Vegas featuring Stars of the Military!

What happens at the ballpark….stays at the ballpark!!!

We’re bringing the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to RE/MAX Field, including a lineup of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and the high flying stars of Cirquetastic! The word on the street is Elvis is set to make a very splashy entrance with his friends in the Canadian Armed Forces, which makes perfect sense as we want to celebrate the stars we grew up with as well as the stars of today in the Armed Forces!

Oh, and did we mention we’re also going to be giving away flights for two to Sin City courtesy Fly YEG?!?

All the stars from the big screen and those men and women of the forces share links to this season’s alternate jersey, which will be unveiled on this night. There is a distinctly Edmonton twist to these red hot silks. Enough hints! You’ll have to wait a little longer!!!

Paws in the Park! Presented by Homes Alive Pets

We’ll be ready for some furry fun this Sunday! Bringing your pets to the ballpark has been growing in popularity every season and we expect a lot of fans to bring their dogs down so they can bark in the park! But this year we’re also inviting other pets. We expected to see a great turnout from the cat fanciers and we also have heard there may be a couple of chickens crashing the party….

Join us for an afternoon of dog dancers (yeah that’s right, we said dogs that dance), wiener dog races and crazy great prizes and giveaways from our pals at Homes Alive Pets!
