Banana Ball to return to Portland in 2027
Loco Beach Coconuts and Indianapolis Clowns to Host Games at Delta Dental Park, August 2027
Two independent‑league baseball squads, the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Indianapolis Clowns, will bring their rivalry to Bangor on August 20 and 21, 2027. The pair of games will take place at Delta Dental Park, located on the campus of Hadlock Field.
Delta Dental Park, the home of the Bangor Lumberjacks, offers a classic small‑town baseball atmosphere. The venue’s natural grass diamond and modest seating will accommodate a regional crowd eager for a weekend of entertainment. The Loco Beach Coconuts and Indianapolis Clowns, each with their own distinct histories, will compete in back‑to‑back contests, drawing fans from across the state for a taste of independent‑league baseball.
The August 20 matchup will feature the Coconuts against the Clowns in a standard 9‑inning contest, followed the next day by a rematch. Both games are expected to run through the early evening, giving attendees a chance to enjoy a full day of baseball under the Maine summer sky. Ticket sales have opened, and season passes are available for the weekend. Local businesses along the waterfront and in the downtown area anticipate increased patronage as fans arrive to watch the teams in action.
The scheduling of the games on consecutive days provides an opportunity for families and friends to experience a double‑header experience without the need for separate travel arrangements. Fans can also take advantage of the park’s amenities, including concessions, picnic areas, and a small children’s play zone.
In addition to the games themselves, organizers plan to host a post‑game celebration on the field, offering autograph sessions and photo opportunities for players. This event marks one of several planned to boost community engagement and promote baseball as a family‑friendly pastime in Maine.
Those wishing to attend should check the official Delta Dental Park website for ticket information, parking details, and any COVID‑19 protocols that may still be in effect. With the Loco Beach Coconuts and Indianapolis Clowns set to take the field, Bangor’s summer sports calendar looks set for an exciting two‑day baseball showcase.
