Big Ol’ Ballpark Fair to kick off with Trash Pandas’ games next week
MADISON, Ala (WHNT) — The Big Ol’ Ballpark Fair is heading back to Madison starting next week, and this year, it will cross over with four Rocket City Trash Pandas games.
The Big Ol’ Ballpark Fair will run from April 25 to May 5, meaning this year’s fair will also coincide with the Trash Pandas taking on the Tennesse Smokies from April 25-28.

With both events happening at once, the Trash Pandas have released a special parking plan for game days during the fair. The team said from April 25 to April 28, free designated parking for the fair will be at Hexagon on Intergraph Way in Madison, less than two miles away from the field.
People intending only to visit the fair are encouraged to park there, where shuttle buses will be running continuously to take them back and forth to Toyota Field. The team said those being dropped off directly at the fair can do so at the intersection of Town Madison Boulevard and Stadium Way.
For the remainder of the fair dates parking will be $10 per vehicle at Toyota Field. There will not be parking at Hexagon on those days.
Those fans with tickets to Trash Pandas games on those nights will also get free admission to the fair, though fairgoers will still need to buy tickets to the game.
