(CHICAGO) The Chicago White Sox have announced the dates for SoxFest 2017.

The 26th annual fan convention will run January 27 – 29 at the Hilton Chicago and will include opportunities for fans to connect with former Sox stars and the current team.

SoxFest 2017 packages and passes will go on sale in September. Fans can sign up for a priority list and be the first to buy hotel packages and passes for the event by emailing [email protected].

Last year’s event included current and former White Sox players signing more than 16,000 autographs and posing for nearly 3,500 photos with fans. In addition to seminars and autograph sessions, both current and former team members played games against fans in the interactive space, and surprised fans with unique experiences.
