A Baseball Bonanza Under the Solstice Sun
& The Pac NW Summer Baseball Paradise
June 17 - 22, 2025
If you were to poll baseball fanatics and “ballpark chasers” on what is on their Baseball Bucket List, the Midnight Sun Game in Fairbanks, Alaska, would no doubt be at the top for many.
This game is played annually on the summer solstice, capping off a city-wide festival in Fairbanks to celebrate the longest day of the year. It will be the only night game you ever attend during which the stadium lights are never turned on, because the sun never sets on the solstice at latititudes this high, allowing for a “day game” with a 10:00 PM first pitch!
For more on the fascinating experience of the Midnight Sun Game, check out this article on MLB.com (or this one) and listen to this Travel for Sports Podcast episode. For an idea of what to expect on the tour, listen to this recap podcast from tour hosts Anna and Shane and check out our 2023 Pacific Northwest and Alaska Midnight Sun Game Recap and Photo Log.
