The Carolina Panthers’ beloved Fan Fest is making its return to Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, August 2, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable evening for fans of all ages.
This year’s edition promises a night of high-energy excitement, complete with a live training camp practice, autograph sessions, and a spectacular fireworks and laser show to close out the festivities. For those eager to collect memorabilia, players will circle the field after practice to sign autographs at the wall—making it a prime opportunity to get up close with Panthers stars.
The fun starts when gates open at 5:00 p.m., followed by pre-practice entertainment at 5:30 p.m. Fans can watch their favorite players begin warmups at 6:30 p.m., with the full practice kicking off at 7:30 p.m. The practice will wrap around 8:45 p.m., leading into an autograph session and the night’s grand finale—an exciting fireworks and laser show.
The first 5,000 fans to arrive will receive roster flip cards, while younger fans can head to the Atrium Health Kids Zone for fun activities like a coloring wall and bubble play. Additionally, select PSL owners and kids will have the exclusive chance to participate in the helmet walk before practice begins, adding another layer of fan engagement.
This marks Fan Fest’s return to Charlotte, after last year’s special event was held in Clemson, S.C., in honor of the team’s 30th season. The 2025 event brings the celebration back home, offering fans in the Carolinas a chance to reunite with their team in the heart of Panthers territory.
Tickets are on sale now for just $5, with proceeds going directly to Carolina Panthers Charities. PSL owners for the Panthers and Charlotte FC received early access to pre-sale tickets beginning July 10 at 10 a.m.
Fan Fest isn’t just about football—it’s a family-friendly celebration of Panthers culture, complete with entertainment, fan interaction, and community support. Whether you’re a die-hard season ticket holder or just looking for an exciting night in the city, Fan Fest 2025 is not to be missed.
