MLB Little League Classic

Williamsport, PA

Since August 2017, Major League Baseball has made it an annual tradition to bring Major League players to Williamsport, PA to attend the Little League World Series and interact with young fans as a way to encourage the development of the sport at a youth level, before heading to Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field to play the Little League Classic game. In 2024, Canopy Team members worked closely with MLB’s Global Events team and the event production partner to ensure all ballpark needs at Bowman Field were met and addressed, from ballpark operations to game presentation and transportation. Canopy also developed a ballpark map to help fans and staff alike navigate the event footprint.

Canopy Team members were also responsible for managing the movements of Major Leaguers during their visit to the Little League International Complex, working with Little League and MLB staff to make sure their security, transportation, and other needs were accounted for. Canopy made sure to organize activities at the complex to keep the Little Leaguers engaged and foster a connection between them and their Major League heroes.
