One of the fun things about being a fan for your favorite team is the promotions they put out to show their appreciation for the various fans, ages and groups that show up to cheer the team.
The Baltimore Orioles have recently announced their promotional schedule for the 2026 season, and it looks like another fun year of giveaways and theme nights at Camden Yards.
So, let’s jump right in and see what big promotions the Orioles will have this season, and you let us know which you are looking forward to the most.
Bobblehead Giveaways
One of every collector’s favorite promotions are the bobblehead giveaways.
This year, there are four announced bobblehead giveaways, headlined by Jackson Holliday with his dog Coconut on April 11 and a Jordan Westburg Star Wars bobblehead slated for May 30.
Also scheduled are a Samuel Basallo bobblehead on May 23 and a Gunnar Henderson bobblehead on June 27.
Baseball Cap / Hat Giveaways
From replica team hats to the tradition of O’s floppy hats, it’s always a treat to receive a hat displaying your team to wear at games or around Charm City.
The Orioles have announced four separate hat giveaways for next season, headlined by the fan favorite reversible floppy hat on July 10, followed by Hotdog Race Caps on July 11. The Hotdog Race has become a staple at Oriole home games, whether live or on the video board in center field.
