MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota is emerging from the grips of recent subzero temps and wind chills, and although winter is far from done, there is a warm breeze of sorts on the horizon.
TwinsFest 2024 will unfold this weekend with three events for fans, with more than 65 current, former and future Twins players and coaches scheduled to take part in all or some of the proceedings. The first is TwinsFest Live!, which takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 26 at the Fillmore in Minneapolis. There will be meet-and-greets and photo opportunities, "player-focused" stage entertainment, celebrity bartenders and more.
Among the players scheduled to appear are All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa, staff ace Pablo Lopez, and rookie standout infielder Royce Lewis. Twins legends set to attend are Hall of Famers Rod Carew, Paul Molitor, Bert Blyleven and Tony Oliva, along with greats like Kent Hrbek, Dan Gladden, Michael Cuddyer and Joe Mauer.
Tickets start at $49, with VIP experiences available. Find out more on the Twins website.
Signature Saturday is all about the autographs, and celebrating Twins Baseball at Target Field. There will be memorabilia displays and card shows, paid signings by Twins players, coaches and alumni, kids-themed areas and activities and a merchandise "yard sale."
Admission is $25 for adults and $10 for kids 12 and under. The first 3,000 fans through the Target Field turnstiles will receive a voucher good for one complimentary ticket to any 2024 home game (besides the opener) and a Twins beanie.
Finally, TwinsFest 2024 includes two Futures Clinics for kids, offering an opportunity for young players to prep for their own seasons with help from Twins players and coaches. The clinics, put on in partnership with Urban Ventures, will allow kids to learn in an indoor drills and fundamentals-based setting.
Tickets for the clinics are $20. There are two sessions, morning for youth ages 6-12 and afternoon for ages 13-18. The Twins say all spots in the morning session are filled, but there are limited openings in the afternoon.
