The Red Sox Winter Weekend fan festival will return to Springfield early next year, with the club announcing the eighth annual event will take place on January 19-20, 2024.

For the second straight year and for the third time overall, Red Sox Winter Weekend will be held at MGM Springfield and the adjacent MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield. The event will include a welcome and introduction of new and returning players, roundtable discussions with club officials and decision makers, as well as autographs, photos and more.

Members of the coaching staff will also be in attendance, as will a number of Red Sox alumni. A specific list of attendees has not yet been announced.

The weekend has traditionally served as a celebration of all things Red Sox, though last year’s event took a foreboding turn when owner John Henry and then-chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom were booed on stage by fans during a question and answer session.

Whether the vibes improve this year remains to be seen, though newly hired chief baseball officer Craig Breslow will presumably receive a warmer reception if he takes the stage.

Weekend passes for Winter Weekend are $95 for adults and $40 for children 14 and under. Red Sox season ticket holders can purchase tickets for $85 and $35, respectively, and children two and under are free. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit redsox.com/winterweekend.
