In Thursday night\u2019s open thread, I discussed the weather forecast that was a bit concerning for Saturday. Saturday was important because that was when this year\u2019s edition of Braves Fest was scheduled. Well, the weather forecast for Metro Atlanta hasn\u2019t gotten any better since Thursday and as such, the Braves have officially made the decision to cancel Braves Fest for 2026.<\/p>\n
This is definitely a bit of a bummer considering that this\u2019ll now make it two years in a row where the annual winter hype event for the Braves has been cancelled. Last season it was due to stadium upgrades in preparation for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game and now this year it\u2019s due to just plain ol\u2019 bad luck in terms of the weather.<\/p>\n
All I know is that 2027 better be an absolute banger to make up for the now-two-year gap that we\u2019ll have without the event. Who knows? Maybe we\u2019ll even get some unseasonably warm weather for the occasion next year. In all seriousness though, all I can do now is advise y\u2019all (who are reading this in the Metro Atlanta area and anywhere else affected by this storm) to stay warm and safe over the weekend. There will be more Braves Fests in the future but for now, the best course of action is to hunker down and make sure you don\u2019t freeze out there \u2014 for a second weekend in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Thursday night\u2019s open thread, I discussed the weather forecast that was a bit concerning for Saturday.
