Denver is officially going bananas this weekend.
The pop culture phenom Savannah Bananas play two sold-out games at Coors Field Saturday and Sunday.
But even if fans didn’t get tickets to the games — which sold out in under two hours — there’s events close to the games to get yellow fever going.
The famed independent baseball team known for its bright yellow uniforms and viral clips brings its 2025 world tour to Denver for the first time this weekend.
The Bananas will play the Firefighters. The game on Saturday airs on ESPN2 at 7 p.m.
The Bananas are touring to 18 Major League Baseball stadiums and three football stadiums in 2025, with sellouts in each market.
Right across the street from Coors Field, fans can still cheer for the Bananas at McGregor Square on Wazee Street. On Friday, buy merch in the plaza. Saturday at 7 p.m. watch the game from ESPN2 on the Jumbotron. Sunday is the 3:30 p.m. in-stadium feed of the game on the Jumbotron. Drink specials at Milepost Zero Food Hall in commemorative cups.

You can also catch some players at Greenwood Village’s Dunkin’ Saturday.
The team will appear at the Dunkin’ restaurant ahead of the games against the Firefighters this weekend.
It’s from from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, Dunkin’ at 9595 E. Arapahoe Road, near Interstate 25 and Arapahoe Road.
The cast members from the Bananas will go behind the counter to serve orders, treat guests to free giveaways, and interact with fans.
