Banana Ball is headed to Dehler Park for a three-game series August 20-22, 2026. The game will feature the Savannah Bananas’ two favorite opponents, the Firefighters and the Party Animals, as they face off in three nights of baseball with a twist. Billings will be their only stop in Montana!

The husband-and-wife team of Jesse and Emily Cole co-founded Banana Ball, ten years ago with the mantra “Fans First. Entertain Always.” Their mission is to deliver a brand of baseball that prioritizes fun over the game’s outcome.

Fans can expect nonstop action, music, and fun as Banana Ball takes the best parts of America’s pastime and turns up the energy. With a two-hour time limit, no bunting, and foul balls caught by fans counting as outs, the game moves fast and keeps everyone in on the action. Add in player dances, fan challenges, and a party atmosphere that never quits, and you’ve got an experience unlike anything else in sports.

Banana Ball has unique rules that deliver a twist on traditional baseball. The team consists of baseball players/ entertainers. Tryouts are held all around the country and are invitation-only.

“I can’t wait to bring all the fun and excitement of Banana Ball, to the Magic City next summer” said Mustangs owner Dave Heller. “Twerking umpires, acrobatic trick plays, batters on stilts, choreographed dances – Banana Ball offers a unique brand of entertainment that kids of all ages find to be super fun. We’re so excited to be the sole Montana city hosting their high-octane and entertainment-packed laugh-a-minute baseball games over three fun-filled nights next August. It will be among the most fun events of 2026.”

“Billings has been asking for Banana Ball, and we are excited to announce that it has become a reality. This will be the must-see event for the summer of 2026.” added General Manager Matt Allen.

Support from Visit Billings, the Tourism Business Improvement District, and the Billings Mustangs makes this series possible.
