Jackie Robinson Day Community Weekend

April 11 @ 11:30 am - 3:00 pm
Included with Museum Admission
Visit the JACKIE ROBINSON MUSEUM to kick off the celebration of Jackie Robinson Day 2026! Jackie Robinson made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947, breaking the color barrier in modern Major League Baseball. Commemorate Robinson’s enduring legacy on and off the baseball diamond with fun-filled events for fans of all ages!
The Museum is open from 11am to 6pm and special activities are available between 11:30am and 3pm, including:
  • A special edition of Robinson’s Readers: Story Time and Craft at 11:30AM – a perfect introduction to the Museum for children ages 4-6 and their grown-ups!
  • Wear the Legacy – Customize your baseball cap with limited edition Jackie Robinson-inspired artwork, patches, and more! Bring a cap from home to decorate or pick one up at the Museum.
  • “Bases Loaded, Opportunity Knocks” – Turn the Museum into a life-size game board, inspired by the work and legacy of Jackie Robinson as ballplayer and businessman.
  • Citizens Money Essentials, a financial empowerment workshop designed for youth ages 10 to 15 and led by banking professionals.
  • Photo Stations, Prizes & More!

In addition to KultureCity® resources available at all times, we’ll have a quiet zone at this event for any guests who need a sensory break.
