Dodger Fest has long marked the kickoff of the Los Angeles Dodgers season by bringing fans to their favorite players and coaches while fostering a sense of community among Dodgers enthusiasts at large. The event not only celebrates the team’s achievements but also showcases the unwavering support of its dedicated fan base. This year’s Dodger Fest, in 2025, will come with a twist as construction work at Dodger Stadium has prompted a change in venue to an alternate location set to be announced soon.

The relocation of Dodger Fest echoes a similar scenario from 2020 when stadium renovations forced the event to move from the field to Dodger Stadium’s parking lots P and N. That year, fans enjoyed a different experience, with the parking lot setting providing a unique twist on the usual field activities. For 2025, while the venue is still to be revealed, the event is expected to be more compact, offering a more intimate experience that contrasts with the larger scale of previous Dodger Fest gatherings.

Dodgers Fest: How do you attend and what should you expect?

Despite these changes, Dodger Fest will maintain many of its signature elements. Fans will have the opportunity to engage with team members, such as manager Dave Roberts and President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, along with players from the championship-winning lineup of the World Series team. There will be opportunities for fans to have their memorabilia signed during autograph sessions and meet-and-greet sessions for fans.

Dodger Fest has changed in recent years, from being an event to now requiring entry tickets. This trend is expected to continue in 2025 as well. Fans should keep an eye out for updates on ticket availability and details regarding autograph sessions and other attractions that will be disclosed in the coming weeks.

DodgerFest memories: Unforgettable moments from the past

Throughout its existence, Dodger Fest has created moments establishing it as a beloved event for fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers. A memorable occasion occurred in 2020 when supporters congregated in the parking areas during stadium upgrades and enjoyed an outdoor atmosphere combining grassroots enthusiasm and team spirit. Star players such as Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner graced the platform to provide candid perspectives on the team’s objectives, generating anticipation for what turned out to be a season.

Interestingly, one more unforgettable memory was created. In 2024, when Freddie Freeman spent hours signing autographs at Dodger Fest and went above and beyond his time just to make sure every fan waiting in line had a chance to meet him personally. Moments like these really capture the essence of the Dodgers’ magic of bringing players and fans together in a way that game days can’t replicate. From young enthusiasts receiving their signed baseballs to families strengthening their connections through their mutual affection for the Dodgers. The occasion persists in crafting enduring memories that span generations.

Every year brings with it moments and special access to players that fans eagerly look forward to as they get a chance to connect with the heart of the team. As Dodger Fest 2025 approaches, it promises to deliver new memories and reignite the passion that makes being a Dodgers fan truly special.
