Get your peanuts and Cracker Jacks, because the Harrisburg Senators are taking local residents out to the ballgame.

Harrisburg announced on Tuesday that the baseball team would host a City of Harrisburg Family Day on May 21, offering thousands of free tickets to city residents.

“We are so thrilled to partner with the Senators on this exciting event for our city,” said Mayor Wanda Williams. “There is no better way to spend a Sunday in the city than at the ballpark, and I really want to thank Senators team President Kevin Kulp for making this possible.”

The Sunday game will be played on City Island’s FNB Field against the Erie Seawolves and will start at 1 p.m., with Williams throwing the first pitch.

All city residents are eligible for a complimentary ticket voucher, good for two free tickets, to be exchanged at the box office on game day. Seats will be selected once a ticket is exchanged at the box office.

Ticket vouchers are available to pick up at the following Harrisburg locations:

  • The MLK City Government Center, 10 N. 2nd
  • Camp Curtin YMCA, 2135 N. 6th
  • Allison Hill Community Center, 1524 Walnut St.
  • Boys & Girls Club, 1227 Berryhill St.

Pickup times for each location are dependent on business hours, and will be available until the close of business Friday, May 19.

“The Harrisburg Senators have called City Island home for more than 35 years, and none of that is possible without the people and the families of Harrisburg,” said Kulp. “If you’ve never been out to a Senators game, you’re missing one of the best shows in baseball. Hopefully, City of Harrisburg Family Day attracts a new generation of Senators faithful.”
