5 opening day parties happening across the country in 2024

MLBopening day is here.

Many cities hosting the occasion take the opportunity to hold tailgates, parades and parties for fans before and sometimes even after the game.

If the team you’re a fan of is traveling for opening day this year, many bars and restaurants in the team’s home city host watch parties of the big game for fans to attend. Also, for teams not hosting opening day, several have huge celebrations prior to their own home opener instead.
