PHOENIX — Salt River Fields at Talking Stick will host a snow-filled holiday event this upcoming winter from Nov. 27 through Jan. 4, the Scottsdale sports venue announced Wednesday.

Over 2,000 pounds of artificial snow will cover the MLB spring training site for the entirety of the Valley Toyota Dealers Holiday Snowfest. The ballpark will be open daily from 3-10 p.m. at 7555 N. Pima Road just off the Loop 101 Pima Freeway.

Tickets to this family-friendly event are now available online to the general public. Adults (ages 11+) are $25, children ages 4-10 are $15 and children under 3 are free admission. On-site parking is available and free.

There are two VIP packages up for purchase, both including a smores kit, hot cocoa voucher, Santa voucher, snowball toss voucher and souvenir drink voucher. Those items have a $60 value, and for an additional $10 guests receive a ticket to a Feb. 22, 2025 spring training game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.

A luxury $500 pass will provide up to six guests all-day access to a private snow dome and VIP benefits listed above.

Every Friday and Saturday during the event’s duration will offer special late-night pricing. From 8-11 p.m., adult general admission tickets will be half off.

Besides boatloads of snow, the Holiday Snowfest will feature a 20-foot toboggan hill with a canopy of 50,000 holiday-themed lights and an accompanying mini hill for children under four feet tall.

Snowman building, a Santa Claus meet-and-greet, a smores-making station, and a holiday vendor village are some of the many amenities for the whole family to enjoy. The Santa meet-and-greet will cost $8 per guest, the snow ball contest $5 for three snowballs and smores firepit $5 for its setup without the purchase of a VIP package.

For adults that will be attending, an Igloo Bar will be offering festive cocktails.

A snow cabin will second the toboggan as a holiday spectacle, with a engineered light show every 30 minutes and real snow falling from its ceiling.

Outside food and drink are not permitted at Salt River Fields and only service animals will be allowed entrance.

Guest can also purchase tickets at the stadium with a $2 box office fee.

We want to hear from you.
