The Atlanta Braves Foundation hosted the Braves Fest Gala, which raises to better the community with initiatives such as investing in teachers, addressing equity and access in baseball and softball and providing opportunities for kids to play and supporting programs focused on health and wellness. This premier annual fundraising event transformed Truist Park into an elegant “Winter Wonderland” where guests enjoyed seasonal cocktails and hand-rolled cigars while exploring fun festivities on the diamond.

The Braves dugout housed a bourbon-tasting bar, and the Delta SKY360° Club was reinvented as an upscale ski chalet. The gala provided unforgettable opportunities to meet Atlanta Braves players, dance to live music, and capture the fun with unique photo opportunities.
