The Little Italy Association will be partnering with other Italian cultural groups, Convivio and the Italian Cultural Center, to celebrate Italian heritage through the sport of baseball in San Diego this spring. On Thursday, May 31, the organizations will come together to celebrate America’s favorite pastime — baseball — at the San Diego Padres “Italian Heritage Night” at Petco Park at 6:10 p.m. as part of the Padres vs. Marlins game.

It’ll be a night-long celebration filled with Italian culture, special guests from Italy, a musical star from “America’s Got Talent” and, of course — baseball! Guests will have the option to purchase general admission tickets for $32–$33 or an elevated VIP experience for $95 on Petco Park’s Pacific Porch. General admission tickets include a commemorative hat and a complimentary mini-Italian flag.
