Join us for Simply Local Night with the Mustangs Thursday, July 17
First Pitch at 6:35 PM | Gates open at 5:30 PM
If you’ve never been to a Billings Mustangs game, consider this your personal invite. There’s something undeniably special about a summer evening at Dehler Park, kids with ballpark snacks in hand, neighbors catching up in the stands, and the crack of the bat echoing beneath a Montana sunset. It’s classic summer, right here in the heart of our city.
NOT JUST FOR BASEBALL FANS
Even if you’ve never followed a baseball stat in your life or couldn’t tell a bunt from a double play, a Mustangs game still hits the sweet spot for summer fun. Think of it less like a sporting event and more like a community night out, laid back, lively, and full of local flavor.
FOR FAMILIES: It's affordable, fun, and easy. Let the kids run off their energy, grab some popcorn, and enjoy a night where no one’s on a screen.
FOR A NIGHT OUT: Whether it’s date night or just meeting up with friends, the vibe is relaxed and fun, with plenty of great food, drinks, and people-watching.
FOR EVERYONE ELSE: It’s just one of those “why haven’t we done this sooner?” experiences. You’ll wonder what took you so long.
WHY THIS NIGHT? Be!u" it’s #r $%t.
We’re thrilled to partner with the Mustangs for Simply Local Night at the Ballpark on Thursday, July 17, and we’d love to see you there. We’ll be celebrating community in the best way we know how: showing up, cheering loudly, and sharing a summer evening with the people who make this place home.
So, grab your friends, bring the family, or come solo and make new connections. Gates open at 5:30 PM, and the first pitch is at 6:35 PM. We’ll be there, and we hope you will be too.
LET'S FILL THE STANDS
Sometimes the simplest things end up being the most memorable. A warm breeze, a local team, and a night spent with good people. That’s summer done right.

5 Must-do's at a Mustang's Game
ARRIVE EARLY. Grab a "Stang burger" and catch warmups under the golden hour glow.
SIT IN THE BERM. Bring a blanket and let the kids roam free.
WATCH FOR THE MASCOT. Homer the Horse makes the rounds for hight-fives and selfies.
TRY SOMETHING SWEET. The Snowie Snow Cones line is long for a reason.
STAY FOR THE SEVENTH INNING STRETCH. Singing along to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" hits different under the Montana skies.
