Winnipeg Jets announce details surrounding their annual Fan Fest celebration (Sept 23)

One of the biggest things that was missing the last few years during covid was interactions between the Jets/Moose organizations and their fans. Seeing it return the last little bit as life returns to normal has shown the importance of creating that connection even if it’s just the time it takes to say hello and take a photo with a fan.

Today the Jets announce details of the upcoming Fan Fest which gets underway on September 23rd.

Coinciding with the start of training camp, Fan Fest offers the chance to get a first look at top Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose players as they prepare for a thrilling 2023-24 season. Fans can get up close for on-ice training camp sessions and player interviews on the main stage. Fun and games for all ages both inside and outside hockey for all centre include Q & A sessions with Jets and Moose players, coaches and management, special guests and alumni; alumni autographs; cultural performances celebrating the Jets’ Filipino and South Asian Heritage and WASAC games; Royal Canadian Armed Forces activations including performances by the rock band of the Royal Canadian Air Force; inflatables; interactive games and displays; a ball hockey activation; the opportunity to shoot on Mick E. Moose in the Ice Lab (ages 10 and under); the video gaming lounge where fans can play NHL 24, and more. Jet Dogs will be available for purchase along with food and beverages from the Press Box Restaurant and from fan-favourite food trucks outside.

The event runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with free parking in the adjacent Assiniboia Downs lot.

Free mobile tickets will be required to enter Fan Fest and will be available beginning Thursday, Aug. 31 at 10 a.m. at WinnipegJets.com/FanFest. A limit of eight tickets will be allowed per order.

Fans will get their first look at players during two on-ice training camp sessions at 9 a.m. and noon. As seating is limited, tickets do not guarantee spots in these sessions and fans are encouraged to begin lining up for the on-ice sessions after 8 a.m. for first-come, first-served seating. Fans who do not get into the first session can line up for the second session.

Jets Gear will be on site with a selection of Jets and Moose merchandise at discounted prices, including a large selection of game-used jerseys and equipment.

So tickets will be available starting tomorrow.
