The world-famous Banana Ball World Tour is coming back to Minnesota in 2026, and this time the Savannah Bananas themselves will be appearing.

It is the second straight year the tour will make a stop in Minnesota, after the Party Animals hosted the festivities at CHS Field in St. Paul in August.

This time the Savannah Bananas play the Loco Beach Coconuts at the Twins' Target Field in Minneapolis on August 7-9.

For the uninitiated, the Savannah Bananas are essentially baseball's version of the Harlem Globetrotters, and have exploded in popularity since their debut in 2018. The 2026 tour will be the debut year of the six-team Banana Ball league.

Filled with loads of wild and fun gimmicks, Banana Ball isn't the baseball your grandparents grew up on. Scoring rules differ from standard baseball, while there is a two-hour time limit to all games. Foul balls caught by fans are considered an out and there are no walks.

To land one of the highly-coveted tickets to see Banana Ball, you have to join a lottery, which you can do here. Admissions will be accepted until Oct. 31.

A random drawing will be held after admission close and those who have their name drawn will be contacted about the "opportunity to purchase tickets." Tickets start at $35.
