There will also be a post-game jam on Saturday, Nov 21.
Musical acts expected to perform, which include Ventana Al Jazz Orlando artists, are Humberto Ramirez & Best Friends, Giovanni Hidalgo, Fusion Beat, the Leslie Cartaya Quartet and children’s musical group Atención-Atención, plus additional Orlando-area bands.
Latin cuisine and beverages, some from food trucks, will be available during the Festival. Inside the ballpark, guests can also find more treats such as arroz con pollo, habichuelas rojas guisadas and carne frita. Additionally, there will be activities and other entertainment throughout the three-day festival.
Single-game tickets range from $17.50 for lawn seats to $30 for lower level seating. Two-game packages (Saturday and Sunday) are $45 (upper level) and $54 (lower level). Group tickets are also available ($24-$27) as well as suites ($250-$2,000).

This league has featured Major League stars such as Roberto Alomar, Bobby Bonilla, Ivan Rodriguez, Edgar Martinez, Juan Gonzalez, Bernie Williams, Ruben Sierra and Roberto Clemente himself during its rich 75-year history.
The Latin Baseball Festival, which is a salute to Puerto Rico, marks the first time Clemente League teams will play official regular-season games within the continental U.S. The league last played outside of Puerto Rico in the Inter-League Series in 2009 when it played with the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League.

The complex is the long-time home of Atlanta Braves spring training and was a host site during the inaugural World Baseball Classic in 2006. In addition, the complex hosts a variety of youth and adult baseball events, including national elite-level youth tournaments, and international amateur events.
