Picnic in the Park - Sunday, June 16th - Father's Day

Houston Astros Picnic in the Park 2013 STH

Come join us for the first-ever Picnic in the Park on Sunday, June 16th!

Enjoy an hour long autograph session with Astros players, a terrific cookout in the outfield, children's activities, live music and a one-of-a-kind auction. Each participant will receive a picnic blanket - so no need to bring your own! And since it is being held at Minute Maid Park, this could be your first air-conditioned picnic. Proceeds of this charitable fundraiser benefit The Astros Foundation and our cornerstone youth baseball programs for at-risk children and teens. Picnic in the Park will start approximately 45 minutes after the conclusion of the 1:10 p.m. Astros vs. White Sox game. Picnic tickets, which are tax deductible, do not include a ticket to the game, which may be purchased separately.

Adult tickets: $100
Children*: $25 (6 - 14 years of age)

*Fans 5 and younger free when accompanied by a ticketed adult; fans 15 and over require an adult ticket.

For more information, call (713) 259-8851, email us at picnic@astros.com,
or by visiting www.astros.com/picnic
