The RiverDogs, long known for the fun and value delivered through weekly promotions like Thirsty Thursday and Fireworks Fridays, are taking things a step further in celebration of America’s 250th birthday with a brand-new slate of night-of-the-week promotions in 2026. For the first time, the team will host Wiener Wednesdays for all Wednesday evening games, when fans can get two hot dogs for just 50 cents, and leveled-up Dog Day Tuesdays feature 2-for-1 tickets and a dog-themed t-shirt giveaway each week.
It’s all part of the team’s 66 home game calendar at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, themed “Land of the free, home of the fun,” which kicks off on April 2nd's Opening Night.
The full weekly promotional schedule is listed below, with standard start times listed. The full 2026 schedule can be viewed online here.
Tuesdays (7:05 p.m.) - Dog Day Tuesday, presented by Twisted Tea and Elanco
It wouldn’t be a complete RiverDogs homestand without the Dogs themselves! Bring your four-legged companion to every Tuesday home game, free with the purchase of a human ticket. New for 2026, fans can purchase two tickets for the price of one every Tuesday. Additionally, the first 500 fans will receive a Dog Day t-shirt, featuring that week’s breed of the game, sponsored by Elanco. Pups can enjoy tail-wagging activities throughout the park, while their owners enjoy games, drink specials and more thanks to Twisted Tea.
Wednesdays (7:05 p.m.) - Wiener Wednesday presented by Wicked Weed and South Carolina 250
What’s better than enjoying a hot dog while taking in a ballgame? How about enjoying two hot dogs for just 50 cents? Thanks to South Carolina 250, fans can snag the best dinner and a show in town every Wednesday home game while celebrating all things Americana. All Wednesday home games are presented by Wicked Weed.
Thursdays (7:05 p.m.) - Thirsty Thursday, presented by Budweiser
Dollar beers. DJs. Cup Snakes. You know the drill. We’ll celebrate Budweiser’s 150th anniversary the only way we know how: with Thirsty Thursdays at the Joe.

Fridays (7:05 p.m.) - Boeing Red Shirt Friday/Fireworks Friday, presented by REV Federal Credit Union
As the ‘Home of the fun,’ it’s only right the RiverDogs celebrate the semiquincentennial with patriotism turned up to ten for every Friday home game with postgame fireworks, presented by REV Federal Credit Union. Fans are encouraged to wear red in support of active and retired military members and their families, as Boeing and the RiverDogs celebrate those who serve and who have served.
