Saturday, August 2: A Knight at the Joe
Have you ever wanted to participate in a Middle Age battle? Then a Knight at the Joe, presented by Harris Teeter, is the night for you. Riley Park is going Medieval, complete with a Renaissance Fair and Larpers. The ballpark will be split into two sides (first base and third base), and fans will receive a rally towel coordinated with their side. The two teams will battle during Medieval themed competitions throughout the game, and one side will be declared the winner at the end of the night. Saturday nights are brought to you by 92.5 Kickin’ Country, 101.7 Chuck FM and FOX 24.
Sunday, August 3: Charlie’s Birthday Party; MUSC Health Family Sunday
The Lowcountry’s favorite mascot is celebrating his birthday, and he wants you to be there! The RiverDogs will celebrate Charlie’s birthday with a party on MUSC Health Family Sunday. The first 1,000 fans will receive a Charlie Bobblehead doll, featuring the RiverDogs’ championship rings. Charlie’s mascot friends will be in attendance, so be prepared for fun photo ops and mascot shenanigans. Also, in partnership with Charleston Southern University, bring an unopened toy to the game for Operation Christmas Child and receive $5 in ballpark money (“loaded value”) for Sunday’s game. Like every Sunday, kids run the bases postgame and parking is free. Be sure to sign up your young RiverDogs fan for the MUSC Children’s Health Kids Club for added perks. Sundays are also presented by Mix 95.9, Star 99.7 and ABC News 4.
