On Saturday, Jan. 17, during the annual Cardinals Care Winter Warm-Up, MLB will place tickets on sale for All-Star FanFest, as well as Taco Bell All-Star Sunday. Those tickets may be purchased at stlcardinals.com and allstargame.com, and at the Winter Warm-Up.
The 19th annual All-Star FanFest will take place from Friday, July 10 through Tuesday, July 14 — the day of the All-Star Game at Busch Stadium. The “interactive baseball theme park” will be held at the America’s Center in downtown St. Louis.

Sunday also brings the Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game, including stars from various realms of pop culture as well as former greats from the diamond.
