OPENING DAY PARADE INFORMATION
Opening Day will kick off with a parade at the Belmont Sports Complex, this Saturday September 6th between 8:30AM and 9:30AM. Arrival time is 8AM at the latest!
Police, Fire, VIPs
We hope to have one of Belmont's Police Officers, Firefighters, and various dignitaries present. Depending on what is going on in the city, there may even be a police car and fire truck to view. Arrive early, before 8AM, or stay after to see the police car, fire truck, or chat with our Police, Fire, and City leaders.
Banner Contest
We will have a banner contest at Opening Day. All banners are considered, home made banners get bonus points. Winning banner's teams at 6U, 8U, 10U and 12+U will receive a coupon for Menchie's Belmont.
Parade Timeline
Please arrive no later than 8AM and drop your player(s) off at the South Field (over the bridge) and then immediately return to the stands behind the North Field baseball diamond. Players will leave the South Field soon after, and work their way to the North field. The line typically stretches out, so they'll wait at their entrance a few more minutes so everyone can regather. At 8:30AM we'll start announcing teams. Each team will march down the 1st base line alone until they arrive at home plate, where they will turn and proceed to 3rd base, have their picture taken, and then continue to the outfield with their team and watch the parade. Teams will wait in the outfield for the last team, just as the later teams waited for them. Once the last team has been announced, about 9:30AM, teams are free to go. Teams with games outside the city may leave earlier, as needed.
