Lehigh Valley IronPigs
Allentown, PA · 59 minutes from Reading
The 2026 baseball season ended September 13; the 2027 home opener is March 30, 2027. The ballpark hosts Illumination holiday lights from November 13, 2026 to January 2, 2027.
Plan the day
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs are the Philadelphia Phillies' Triple-A team, playing at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, PA, which becomes Jefferson Park with the 2027 season.
The roster is one step from the Phillies, and the team plays 75 home games a season in a 10,100-seat ballpark where gates open 75 minutes before first pitch and kids 2 and under get in free on a lap. Tailgating is allowed in the general lots, the KidsZone playground is free, and the lawn takes blankets. In the offseason the concourse turns into Illumination, a walk-through holiday lights show with fire pits for s'mores.
Before you go
The ballpark is cashless, including parking ($5 per vehicle in 2025, card only, 2,500 spaces). Tailgate in the general lots with gas grills only. Blankets yes, lawn chairs no. Strollers allowed. Dogs on Tail Waggin' days per the promotions calendar. Kids 3 and up need a ticket.
Coming up
Illumination, the walk-through holiday lights show on the ballpark concourse, opens November 13, 2026 and runs select dates through January 2, 2027 ($13 advance, under 2 free); before that, Halloween Movie Night is Saturday October 24 with Ghostbusters at 6 PM.
Checked October 8, 2026 on the official site. Hours, prices and seasons change, so confirm there before a long drive. Lehigh Valley IronPigs also has a listing on BerksConnect.
