Redsfest set to return in December after two-year hiatus
The Cincinnati Reds announced Wednesday that Redsfest is scheduled to return to the Duke Energy Convention Center Dec. 2-3 after a two-year hiatus.
Redsfest was canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Reds announced in July 2021 that Redsfest wouldn't take place in Dec. 2021, but would return instead in 2022 when "players can fully engage with the fans."
The 2022 event is scheduled for Fri., Dec. 2 from 3 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern and Sat., Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
