The first time I attended an All-Star Game was 2004 in Houston. It took just one visit to all things ASG to get hooked.
I'm sharing my experiences attending ASG weeks so you can maximize your visit to the current year's host city.
Arlington, TX, get ready- you're up next to host the Mid-Summer Classic at Globe Life Field!
It's used to be an unpaid gig and was priceless. In 2022, Los Angeles made this a paid position, and the same is the case for Arlington in 2024! This is your chance to go behind the scenes of MLB as a member of the All-Star Experience Team. Registration is now open!!!

There is something for EVERYONE.
Yes, there can be a lot of standing in lines waiting, so why not get some exercise while on your trip? Since 2012, most All-Star cities have hosted a 5K Walk/Run.
Find a link here once events are announced.
If you can find time in between the plethora of MLB events, Host Cities and stores, restaurants and facilities host their own events featuring local flavors.
Be sure to check with Arlington local media sites for more info.
In retrospect, while despicable actions by Rob Manfred who stole the ASG and moved it to Denver a couple months before the game, Atlanta will benefit from this. The Braves won the pennant in '21, to Manfred's chagrin, and having that year's ASG in Colorado near the end of the China Virus panic minimized the fun of the events while still at full price. Now with a packed Truist Park, Atlanta will have all events at full power and an amazing time for all who attend. But still worth saying, Rob Manfred and Tony Clark need to be ejected from baseball.
2024 Texas Rangers, Arlington, TX

Most businesses in the vicinity of the ASG get into the spirit of a big event like the ASG. In this case, an unidentified worker at the MLB Staff Hotel puts up signage inside the hotel lobby.

There are so many events and activities in which to partake, you'll definitely get exercise during ASG Week. But there's nothing like a 5K Run or Walk to see more of the host city. Nice souvenir to have a 5K Shirt and medal (if applicable) to commemorate your visit.
