Another exciting week of Wilson Warbirds baseball is here, and there’s plenty of fun both on and off the field!

This homestand is packed with fan favorites, including the Wilt Bobblehead Giveaway on Friday, June 5 (for the first 1,000 fans through the gates) and Star Wars Night on Saturday, June 6. Plus, stick around after Thursday, Friday, and Saturday games for spectacular postgame fireworks!

Before you head to the ballpark, make the most of your game day with the Wilson Warbirds Pregame Tour on the ComeSeeWilson app. The self-guided tour highlights local restaurants, shops, public art, and attractions throughout downtown Wilson, making it easy to turn a baseball game into a full day of adventure.

Grab dinner before first pitch, explore the Whirligigs, discover local businesses, and keep the fun going after the final out. Whether you’re chasing a bobblehead, showing off your Star Wars gear, or cheering on the hometown team, there’s no better time to experience everything Wilson has to offer.
