Dollar Dog Friday + Fireworks at the Asheville Tourists

$1 hot dogs, post-game fireworks, and Asheville Tourists baseball at historic HomeTrust Park (formerly McCormick Field).
Let's meet up for one of the best summer nights in Asheville — Dollar Dog Friday at a Tourists home game. The Tourists host the Rome Emperors, hot dogs are just a buck, and the night ends with a post-game fireworks show over the outfield.
The Plan:
• 6:00 PM — Meet at the main entrance of HomeTrust Park (look for the Asheville Transplants sign)
• 6:35 PM — First pitch vs. Rome Emperors
• After the game — Stay for the Fireworks Friday post-game show
What to Know:
• $1 hot dogs at the concession stands (Dollar Dog Friday promo)
• Bring cash or card for extra dogs, drinks, and stadium snacks
• Grab tickets in advance via milb.com/asheville — Friday games can fill up
• HomeTrust Park is at 30 Buchanan Pl, Asheville, NC 28801 — same ballpark as the old McCormick Field, renamed in April 2026 after a $38.5M renovation

Why This Event:
Minor league ball at HomeTrust Park is one of the quintessential Asheville summer experiences — casual, affordable, and a great way to meet other transplants. Come solo, come with a friend, cheer on the Tourists, and stick around for fireworks. Easy, fun, welcoming vibe.
