DAYTON DRAGONS PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL
DECK THE DIAMOND | NOV. 14, 2025 - JAN. 3, 2026
AT DAY AIR BALLPARK
We’re thrilled to have you join us for this unforgettable celebration, as our beloved stadium has been transformed into a dazzling winter wonderland. With over 1.1 million lights illuminating every corner of the ballpark, you’re in for a truly spectacular experience. Keep in mind, the lights “dance” to music periodically.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO FIRST?
We recommend strolling along the concourse starting on the first base line, moving counterclockwise around the ballpark. There is a fun scavenger hunt that you can do along the way to win festive prizes. You can access the field level and walk around the warning track. That’s where you are able to hop aboard our North Pole Express train.
Explore interactive activities designed for all ages throughout the entire experience. Cozy up by the fire pits with a warm drink and roast s’mores or grab your new favorite family photo at any of our “Elfie” stations positioned around the park. Whatever you do, don’t forget to stop by for a cheerful meet-and-greet with Santa himself! He’s excited to hear what’s on your wish list.
MAKE THE MOST OF OUR YOUR EXPERIENCE TONIGHT.
Whether you’re here for our breathtaking light show, numerous photo ops, or simply soak in the holiday spirit, we’ve crafted every detail to make your visit merry and bright. This event is more than lights; it’s laughter, memories, and the joy of the season shared with family and friends.
