- The Cincinnati Reds have officially confirmed the return of Redsfest after skipping the 2024 event due to renovations at the Duke Energy Convention Center.
- The fan fest will take place at the newly renovated convention center on January 16–17, 2026 — making it the first major event in the updated space.
- Redsfest is a two‑day extravaganza featuring current players, alumni, coaches, broadcasters, autograph sessions, interactive games, memorabilia vendors, photo ops, kids’ zones, a Home Run Derby, and more — much like a “Reds-themed Comic‑Con”.
- Proceeds benefit the Reds Community Fund, supporting youth baseball/softball programs, equipment donations, and local community initiatives.
Why this matters
Redsfest is consistently ranked as one of MLB’s largest and most fan-centric events, drawing tens of thousands — it’s a top-tier opportunity to interact with Reds stars past and present.
🎟️ What to expect in 2026:
- Two full days of activities
- Autograph/photo sessions with current players and alumni
- Interactive attractions (batting cages, speed pitch, kids’ entertainment)
- Solemn opportunities to support the Reds Community Fund
This announcement is major news for Reds fans — particularly since the event was missed in 2024 while the convention center underwent a $240 million renovation.
