This summer, Bellingham will host the West Coast League All-Star Game, bringing the best players from its 17 teams together for an unforgettable night of baseball.

In 2024, the showdown between the North and South divisions was nothing short of thrilling, culminating in a dramatic walk-off, two-run single that sealed a 3-2 victory for the North. But the excitement isn’t just on the field—fans arriving early can immerse themselves in the pre-game festivities, from indulging in local food trucks and craft beer to enjoying live music and interactive activities. The energy builds with the WCL Skills Showcase, where players put their speed, accuracy, and power to the test before the first pitch is thrown at 6:35 PM.

This year’s action is held at Joe Martin Field in Bellingham, WA, and offers something for everyone! Celebrate your favorite players, grab limited-edition merchandise, and stay for the fireworks that cap off the night. Families, friends, and die-hard baseball lovers alike will find themselves swept up in the magic of the All-Star Game—where every play has the potential to become a legendary moment.
