Round Rock Express Fan Fest Returns to Dell Diamond on March 21

Dell Diamond opens its gates for free on March 21 as the Round Rock Express brings back its annual Fan Fest, presented by Intel, giving fans a first look at the ballpark before the 2026 season gets underway.

The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and covers the full grounds of the stadium. Attendees can step onto the field itself to play catch, snap a photo with team mascot Spike, and work through a full slate of activities spread across the concourse. The Home Run Dugout, located along the right field concourse, lets fans take live swings from 10:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., though a signed waiver is required before stepping in. Along the first base concourse, face painters and balloon twisters will be set up for the afternoon. The Fun Zone in right field features an Express bounce house and a pitching inflatable, while an inflatable bull on the first base concourse offers a separate test of balance. Fans can also board the E-Train for free rides along the outer concourse, with boarding starting near Section 113. The team's shop and auctions are also listed among the day's attractions.

The Express will pair the afternoon with a donation drive benefiting the Round Rock Area Serving Center, a nonprofit the team describes as having "been a resource in our community and has helped reach families and individuals in crisis and served their needs with assistance, care and support" for more than 35 years. Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at bins stationed at the Home Plate Gate.

Parking for Fan Fest will be free, according to the team's press release, though general venue guidance for other Dell Diamond events such as the Round Rock Classic lists a $15 per vehicle fee. Fans attending Fan Fest should confirm parking specifics with the team before arriving. Dell Diamond operates as a cashless venue and enforces a clear bag policy.

Fan Fest lands ten days before the Express open their regular season at home. Round Rock hosts the Gwinnett Stripers, the Atlanta Braves' Triple-A affiliate, at 7:05 p.m. on March 31 to begin the franchise's 26th season in Round Rock. The Express serve as the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers.

Tickets for regular-season games are available through RRExpress.com, with Tickets.com as the official provider. The team cautions fans against third-party vendors. For hospitality inquiries, the team can be reached at tickets@rrexpress.com or (512) 255-2255.
