Parish Picnic at the Blue Rocks!
Get ready for a joyful summer evening as we gather for a fun-filled night of baseball, fellowship, and food at the Blue Rocks! This isn’t just a game — it’s a celebration of who we are as the Episcopal Church in Delaware: one church, one family, together in the stands.
Whether you’re a lifelong baseball fan or just here for the laughter, connection, and all-you-can-eat picnic, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
This is also the perfect opportunity to bring your church community together. Invite your parish—families, youth groups, choir members, neighbors, and friends — and let’s fill the stands with Episcopal spirit!
⚾ HERE’S WHAT’S IN STORE:
🌭 All-You-Can-Eat Picnic, 5:30–7:00 p.m.
Gather in our expanded picnic area and enjoy classic ballpark favorites (included with your ticket) while reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones from across the diocese. There’s nothing better than good food and great company.
🎤 Diocesan Choir Sings the National Anthem
Be there as voices from across our churches come together as one to open the game.
⚾ First Pitch Celebration
One of our own, Robert Marston from Christ Church, Dover, will take the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch — cheer him on as we kick off the game in true diocesan style!
🎁 Youth Giveaway!
The first 1,000 fans under age 17 through the gates will receive a youth pullover jersey—so come early!
⚾ Blue Rocks Game Time, 6:05 p.m.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the game — whether you’re tracking every pitch or just soaking in the atmosphere.

WE’RE AT CAPACITY! Waitlist option available
Wow — we did not expect this incredible response! We’re both surprised and grateful to share that we’ve officially reached our capacity for our picnic at the Blue Rocks Game — Holy Obi-Wan Kenobi!
While we wish we could accommodate everyone, we’re currently unable to accept additional registrations, but happy to add you to the waitlist. If you’d like to be added to the waitlist, click here, then complete and submit the form. Thank you!
But wait! We’ve Got an Alternative Seating Option Idea!
Our Parish Picnic at the Blue Rocks Game on June 20 at 6:00 p.m. has officially sold out — we’re amazed and grateful for the enthusiastic response! But if you weren’t able to grab a ticket in time, there is another way to be part of the fun.
Alternative Seating Option:
- A few folks have already purchased individual tickets in Section A (stadium-type seating), which is located next to the Off-Centered Fan Deck — the very spot where our ECD picnic will take place.
- Top right, top row seats in Section A are closest to the fan deck picnic area.
- Bottom row seats are closer to the field for better game views.
- Currently, only a few tickets in this section have been sold, and none yet in the top right-hand corner — so act quickly if you are interested.
- Purchase your tickets directly from the Blue Rocks (not through outside resale sites). Purchase Blue Rocks tickets here.
- 🚨 Important Note: Tickets purchased in Section A do not include access to the picnic area or picnic food. However, there are plenty of great food vendors in the surrounding area, so you won’t go hungry. Picnic begins at 6:30, so come early and we can break bread at the same time.
- Check out the graphics below to see exactly where the ECD picnic area and Section A are located — plus which seats are closest.
- You’ll still be part of the fun! With a Section A ticket, you can:
- Watch Bishop Brown throw out the first pitch at 6:20(ish)
- Enjoy the Star Wars-themed evening
- Enjoy the game
- Watch the post-game fireworks
- And hang near other Episcopal Church in Delaware picnic-goers — maybe even start your own ECD cheer squad!
If you still want to be added to the picnic waitlist just in case, click on the waitlist button below — though we can’t guarantee availability at this point.
We can’t wait to see you there — whether in the picnic area or cheering from Section A!
