SUWANEE - The Atlanta Braves will bring Game on the Green to the big screen in Suwanee’ s Town Center Park Saturday, August 1, as the home team travels to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 pm, but baseball-themed festivities start at 5 p.m.

The Braves will bring inflatables, the Heavy Hitters drum line, and Homer to Town Center Park. In addition, The Sandlot will be shown on a digital board beginning at 5 p.m.  This 1993 film is rated PG (for some language and kids chewing tobacco). In The Sandlot, through baseball, a group of boys finds friendship, adventure, and the courage to take on “the beast” on the other side of the fence.

The game, movie, and activities are free and open to the public. Bring friends, food, chairs, and blankets, but no alcohol may be brought into Town Center Park. Food and beverages, including beer and wine, may be purchased from Town Center merchants.
