Move over apple pie — Richmond Flying Squirrels are bringing a new rival to the most American tradition.

The local Double-A affiliate team is hosting Star-Spangled Squirrels Fest on Friday, July 4 at The Diamond from 6-9:30 p.m. Since the squad is on the road against Chesapeake, folks will have the stadium to themselves for an Independence Day celebration with live music, on-field games, and a fireworks show at the end.

Tickets are $10 for general entrance, or $20 for specialty admission which includes a guaranteed spot for fireworks + a commemorative hat. Both will be on sale at Nutzy’s Block Party, happening Saturday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Diamond.
