Continental Base Ball Club of Kalamazoo

We're just 1 week away from the 2026 Portage Vintage Base Ball Festival!

Lot's to post about over the coming days, but we're excited to have Louie's Lake Bar & Grill as a major sponsor for our event and to be able to offer a food delivery service for our players and fans at Ramona Park!!

Vintage Base Ball Festival 2026 is coming to Portage, MI Ramona Park June 27th-28th. Transforming the park into 1860’s base ball with clubs from 8 states. This is a FREE event!

Come hungry! Louie’s Lake Bar & Grill will have a tent set up to order pizzas at the event. Find our tent, place an order and your pizza will arrive via Louie’s golf cart. Easy eats and fun for the family. Plan ahead!

Today is the last day to preorder your shirt for the 2026 Portage Vintage Base Ball Festival! The store closes at 11:59PM tonight with shirts available for pickup at the weekend of our festival!

Small tweaks to the schedule for the 2026 Portage Vintage Base Ball Festival!

Switching an opponent during the last round of games on Saturday, then adding the Unknown Base Ball Club of Jackson to the Sunday schedule. As scandalous as it is, there are rumors the Unknowns may use a scraped 9 while playing the event!

T-shirt sales are active for the 2026 Portage Vintage Base Ball Festival!
