What Happens at Packers Family Night?

Family Night serves as the public introduction of the 2026 Green Bay Packers. Although it feels a little like a game, the main event is a full team practice designed to help the Packers prepare for the regular season.

The game-like atmosphere makes it especially appealing to families with younger children who may not be ready for the expense or intensity of a regular-season game.

The 2026 event is scheduled to include:

  • A full Packers practice

  • A thunderstick giveaway

  • Gameday music throughout the stadium

  • Promotions on Lambeau Field’s video boards

  • Packers jersey giveaways

  • Kid-favorite food at select concession stands

  • A fireworks show at the end of the night

The Packers will announce specific concession specials and locations closer to the event.

Packers Family Night Tickets

Tickets cost $10 plus taxes and fees. Under Ticketmaster’s all-in pricing system, the listed total is approximately $12.42 per ticket.

Tickets are mobile-only and are available exclusively through Ticketmaster.

Every person entering Lambeau Field needs a ticket, regardless of age. That includes babies and toddlers.

Family Night frequently draws a capacity crowd, so families should purchase tickets as early as possible. If the primary ticket inventory sells out, be cautious when purchasing resale tickets and use Ticketmaster’s official marketplace whenever possible.

Packers Family Night Parking

Fans who want to park in an official Lambeau Field lot must purchase a mobile parking pass in advance. Parking passes were offered during the Family Night ticket checkout process for $5.16, including fees.

Only one parking pass can be purchased per ticket transaction. The pass must be displayed on a mobile device when entering the lot.

Most parking in the Lambeau Field and Titletown lots was already sold out when Family Fest details were announced. Families can continue checking Ticketmaster in case additional parking becomes available.

Other Parking Options

Neighborhood parking: Street parking may be available in the neighborhoods around Lambeau Field. Pay close attention to posted restrictions, temporary signs and local parking ordinances.

Paid residential parking: Homeowners near the stadium commonly sell parking spaces in yards and driveways during Packers events. Prices and walking distances vary.

Nearby business parking: Some businesses around Lambeau Field may offer paid parking. Confirm that event parking is permitted before leaving your vehicle.

Titletown parking: A very limited number of first-come, first-served spaces may be available for purchase on the day of the event. Drivers should enter from Lombardi Avenue. Tailgating is not permitted in the Titletown parking lot.

Plan to arrive early. Family Fest begins at 3 p.m., and traffic around Lambeau Field will become increasingly busy throughout the afternoon.

Free Family Fest at Titletown

Families can begin their day at the free Family Fest at Titletown before walking to Lambeau Field.

Date: Friday, August 7, 2026
Time: 3–6:30 p.m.
Admission: Free
Location: Titletown, immediately west of Lambeau Field

The official 2026 activity lineup includes:

  • Dance floor and DJ

  • Giant games

  • Interactive paint-by-number mural

See the latest details on the Titletown Family Fest page.

Packers Training Camp

Family Night is part of the larger Green Bay Packers Training Camp, which begins Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

Most public practices are held at Ray Nitschke Field across from Lambeau Field. Admission to those practices is free, although seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The 2026 public-practice dates are:

  • July 29–31

  • August 2–4

  • August 10–11

  • August 16

  • August 18

  • August 24

  • August 26 joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals

Public practices are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., but dates and times are subject to change. Practices moved indoors because of weather or other circumstances are closed to the public.

Check the official Packers training camp schedule before making the drive.

For more help planning your visit, read our Green Bay Packers Training Camp family guide.

DreamDrive Bike Tradition

One of the most memorable training-camp traditions is American Family Insurance DreamDrive.

Children bring bikes to Lambeau Field and offer Packers players a ride to Ray Nitschke Field before practice. A player rides the child’s bike while the child walks alongside and carries the player’s helmet.

Participation is never guaranteed, and the tradition takes place during public practices rather than Family Night inside Lambeau Field. Families hoping to participate should arrive early with an appropriately sized bike and be prepared for large crowds.

Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame will be open from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 7.

A few important details:

  • Hall of Fame admission is separate from a Family Night ticket.

  • During these hours, the Hall of Fame is open only to guests holding Family Night tickets.

  • Lambeau Field Stadium Tours will not be offered on Family Night.

Visiting the Hall of Fame before Family Fest can turn the event into a full-day Green Bay experience. Families should purchase Hall of Fame admission in advance if possible.

You can also use our Green Bay with Kids guide to find more attractions, restaurants and family-friendly stops nearby.

Lambeau Field Bag Policy

Lambeau Field’s carry-in policy applies during Family Night.

Bags and purses are prohibited unless they are made of clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and measure no more than 12 by 6 by 12 inches.

Stadium cushions are not permitted. However, stadium seats and pads are allowed if they:

  • Do not have pockets

  • Do not have zippers

  • Measure 18 inches wide or less

Review the complete Lambeau Field carry-in policy before packing.

Is Lambeau Field Cashless?

Yes. Lambeau Field and Titletown are cashless. Families should bring a credit card, debit card or compatible mobile-payment method for concessions, merchandise and other purchases.

What Happens if It Rains?

Family Night typically continues through light rain, so check the forecast and bring appropriate clothing that complies with the stadium’s carry-in rules.

The Packers will not issue refunds because of inclement weather unless every scheduled stadium activity—from the 5:30 p.m. opening through the fireworks show—is canceled.

Because umbrellas can be difficult to use in stadium seating, lightweight rain jackets or ponchos are usually the most practical choice.

What to Bring to Family Night

A few items can make the evening more comfortable:

  • Fully charged phone with tickets and parking pass saved to your digital wallet

  • Portable phone charger

  • Credit or debit card

  • Clear bag that meets stadium requirements

  • Lightweight rain ponchos

  • Sunscreen for afternoon activities at Titletown

  • Hearing protection for children sensitive to fireworks or stadium noise

  • Light layer for the evening

  • Refillable water bottle that complies with current stadium rules

Take a screenshot only as a backup reference. Mobile ticket barcodes may refresh, so tickets should be accessed through the Packers or Ticketmaster app whenever possible.

Television Broadcast

Fans who cannot attend can watch Family Night on the Packers TV Network.

Wisconsin stations scheduled to carry the event include:

  • WGBA-TV in Green Bay

  • WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee

  • WAOW-TV in Wausau

  • WKOW-TV in Madison

  • WXOW-TV in La Crosse

  • WQOW-TV in Eau Claire

Tips for Attending Packers Family Night with Kids

Arrive early. Family Fest opens at 3 p.m., giving families plenty of time to enjoy the activities before Lambeau Field opens.

Save mobile tickets ahead of time. Add tickets and parking passes to your phone’s digital wallet before arriving in Green Bay.

Choose a meeting place. Lambeau Field and Titletown will be crowded. Pick an easy-to-find location in case family members become separated.

Prepare for a late night. Practice begins at 7:30 p.m., and the fireworks take place afterward. Younger children may benefit from a stroller for Titletown, if permitted under current entry policies, or some quiet time before entering the stadium.

Bring hearing protection. Thundersticks, music and fireworks can make Family Night surprisingly loud.

Expect traffic after the fireworks. With thousands of fans leaving at once, it may take time to exit the neighborhood.

Is Packers Family Night Worth It?

For families, Family Night is one of the most affordable ways to experience Lambeau Field.

You will not see a traditional football game, but children can watch the Packers practice, experience the stadium’s gameday presentation and finish the night with fireworks. When combined with the free activities at Titletown, it can become a full day of Packers fun for considerably less than the cost of attending a regular-season game.
