Our Annual Opening Day Parade and Celebration will be Saturday, April 20, 2024.
Players are invited to gather with their teams at the Fourth of July Building between 9:00 and 9:15 a.m., and the parade will start promptly at 9:30 a.m. Players should be dressed in their uniforms and sneakers. Please do not wear cleats, and do not bring any gloves, bats, helmets, or baseballs.
Players will march from the Town Common area to Rotary Park, where our opening day ceremonies will be held.
The on-field ceremonies will take place at Rotary Park and will include introductions of special guests, ceremonial first pitch by a Wilmington Veteran and the performance of the National Anthem. All parade participants will receive a hot dog and drink provided by our friends at Kayem with the assistance of the Wilmington Kiwanis Club.
Each player will also receive a free water bottle courtesy of Gatorade, and some other goodies. We will also be giving away some surplus uniform pants and some "vintage" WLL tee shirts and hats.
Following the ceremonies, the season will get under way with baseball games, schedule TBD.
