Springfield Festival works. It informs you on the location and type of event.

Or just Springfield Festival…? That way it can encompass everything. From tours of houses to tattooing in the park.

How about “The Springfield Classic”? I know that speaks just to the game, and not the surrounding festivities, but, for the game at least, I think it gets to what is being sought.

I agree about the name. Any suggestions for a new name?

Heritage days conjures up pictures of old men playing with confederate flags.

Also, I know it’s a holiday when everyone has off, and that makes it an ideal time for the game(s), but 4th of July strikes me as a terrible time to have these games. We live in Florida– 4th of July is a classic beach day, and one which my family has always spent going to the beach, all day. So, from my view, all these events would be much better appreciated, and attended, on another day.

Just sayin’.

I can’t WAIT for the festival! I love music festivals. I agree with you totally about that name conjuring up old folks withering away on their front porches. Hope they change it one day.
