Boston Red Sox to Announce 2026 Hall of Fame Class at Fenway Fest

Although the calendar reads January, a new baseball season in Boston isn't far away. 

On Monday, Jan. 5, the Boston Red Sox revealed the schedule for the team's annual Fenway Fest, held on Saturday, Jan. 10. The sold-out, daylong event includes activities at Fenway Park, the MGM Music Hall at Fenway, and the House of Blues on Lansdowne Street.

According to a Boston Herald report, program highlights include four panel discussions, including one with the 1986 pennant-winning team on the 40th anniversary of its season. Kids will also have the opportunity to participate in a junior press conference and interview Red Sox players.

More than two dozen current Red Sox players are expected to attend, along with manager Alex Cora, coaching staff, top prospects, and legendary alumni such as Wade Boggs, Dennis Eckersley, Dwight Evans, and Carlton Fisk.

Doors will open at 8 a.m. The official welcome event, including the announcement of the 2026 Red Sox Hall of Fame class, will take place at 9 a.m.

Ballpark activations begin at 10 a.m., with autograph sessions starting at 10:30 a.m. at multiple locations around and inside Fenway Park. Fenway Fest attendees will also gain access to areas of the ballpark that are typically closed to the public, such as the visitors' clubhouse.

A full schedule is available on the festival webpage. The event will also feature memorabilia exhibits, family-friendly activities, and concessions.
