Watch the livestream of Manzanar Baseball Project’s Grand Opening doubleheader on October 17
On Saturday, October 17, 2026, the Manzanar Baseball Project will host a Grand Opening Doubleheader on the newly restored ballfield at Manzanar National Historic Site in Owens Valley, California.
This event marks the culmination of a multi-year effort, led by Artistic Director Dan Kwong, to bring Manzanar’s ballfield and its resilience and joy to the forefront. Great Leap, a multicultural performing arts organization based in Southern California, will present a doubleheader including a North vs. South All-Star Game with ballplayers outfitted in 1940s uniforms and using vintage gloves and equipment. More than just a pair of games, the day will include music, performance art, site-specific art installation, guest speakers, and a participatory closing ceremony.

For those who are unable to join us at Manzanar, a livestream will be available to watch on YouTube beginning at 9:45 AM Pacific on Saturday, October 17.
