All-Star Action Hits the Duck Pond: Northwoods League’s Biggest Week Lands in Madison

Madison’s about to hit a grand slam of summer fun as the Northwoods League All-Star Week comes to the Duck Pond at Warner Park, home of the Madison Mallards. Celebrating 25 years of Mallards baseball, this week is shaping up to be one for the books — with future MLB stars, epic events, and a drone show to light up the Madtown skies.

Kicking off Tuesday, July 15, fans can enjoy the Nightmares Softball Game at 5 PM, followed by a Home Run Challenge featuring the top talent in both baseball and softball. Then on Wednesday, July 16, it’s the main event: the Northwoods League All-Star Game, showcasing the league’s finest — including four standout Mallards players and two competing in the Home Run Derby.

This isn’t just another ballgame. Past all-star players include Pete Alonso, Chris Sale, and Nico Hoerner — and this year’s crop might be the next big names in pro baseball. Whether you’re a diehard fan or just down for a good time, there’s something for everyone.

🎟 Tickets start at just $10 — making this the most affordable all-star action you’ll find in the Midwest. And yes, that includes access to the postgame drone show that’ll light up the Madison skyline.

🎢 Families will love the buzzing Kid Zone, giveaways, and all the extra ballpark magic. For the grown-up crowd, the Bush Light Duck Blind is back with its legendary all-you-can-eat-and-drink experience, and don’t miss the viral-worthy beer zipline — yes, your beer takes the ride, not you.

“We’re proud to host this event,” said Sam from the Mallards. “It’s not every year Madison gets to shine like this — the last time we hosted the All-Star Game was over a decade ago. This is something special.”

So whether you’re in it for the future big-leaguers, the family fun, the drone show, or just watching your drink soar on a zipline — Mallards All-Star Week is the place to be.
