Fredericksburg is getting ready to paint the town red, white, and blue to honor its hometown heroes—the Fredericksburg Nationals—after their 2024 Carolina League Championship victory.
Fans are invited to join the Carolina League Championship Celebration and Ring Ceremony on Monday, April 7, at noon at Riverfront Park in downtown Fredericksburg. The event will honor the FredNats’ thrilling 2024 season and their second league title since the team’s arrival in the city.
Players from the championship roster, including those who have since been promoted to the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks, will return to Fredericksburg for the festivities. The celebration will feature remarks from FredNats manager Jake Lowery, team owner Art Silber, and Fredericksburg Mayor Kerry Devine.
In a symbolic nod to the city’s baseball traditions and hometown pride, one player will ceremoniously throw a silver dollar across the Rappahannock River—a playful tribute to the team’s bold spirit and the community’s support.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with the entire city,” said FredNats manager Jake Lowery in a previous statement. “The fans were with us every step of the way during our championship run, and this celebration is as much theirs as it is ours.”
Attendees are encouraged to wear their FredNats championship gear, arrive early, and be ready to kick off the 2025 season with the reigning champs. The celebration also marks a connection between the team and Fredericksburg, where downtown has become a gathering place for fans and families since the team relocated from Woodbridge in 2020.
The FredNats’ 2024 victory was a hard-earned triumph, capping off a stellar season that included standout pitching performances and a late-season surge that secured a playoff spot. In the championship series, they faced off against the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and emerged victorious, sweeping the playoffs and clinching the title in front of a packed home crowd.
The win ignited a wave of excitement across the region and cemented the FredNats’ place in Fredericksburg sports history.
