NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds begin the first of three homestands in August on Tuesday, August 5 when the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp visit First Horizon Park. The six-game series against the Miami Marlins Triple-A affiliate, and first-half International League champions, is highlighted by Star Wars Night on Saturday, August 9, and plenty of promotions, specialty jerseys, and all the fun Hit City has to offer.

Tuesday means it's another chance for all the four-legged fans to take in the start of the series for Tito's Tail Waggin' Tuesday. The start of the series will also be Stampede Night at the ballpark with in-park activations and appearances by members of the Professional Bull Riders team series roster ahead of Stampede Days at Bridgestone Arena later in August. The second round of the Butch McCord Elite Giants Shirsey Giveaway will be the first of two gate giveaways for the week, and the team will take the field in their Elite Giants jersey for the final time in 2025 on Wednesday, August 6. Grab your lederhosen and a stein and join the Sounds for Aug-Tober Fest on Thursday, August 7. The team will take the field in the Nashville Brewskis alternate uniforms for the occasion and Throwback Thursday drink specials will be available in the concession stands. The start of the weekend at First Horizon Park will feature Stand Up to Cancer Night in partnership with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and one-of-a-kind jerseys designed by LLS patients. It's also Friday Night Fireworks at First Horizon Park as the Nashville skyline lights up with an incredible fireworks display to get the weekend started. At a baseball field not so far, far away, the Nashville Sounds will take on the evil Shrimpire for Star Wars Night on August 9. Through this exclusive bundle, fans can receive a game ticket and a collectable hat that is sure to be the talk of the galaxy. The series wraps up on Sunday, August 10 with another Sunday Family Funday and Youth Sports Sunday presented by Delta Dental.
