Local minor league baseball fans will learn the new identity of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Triple-A franchise during an event Saturday, Nov. 7 at PNC Field.

On Wednesday, team officials released details of The Adventure Begins Fall Festival, an event that will feature food trucks, craft and domestic brews, live music, a petting zoo and guest appearances. The free festival begins at 1 p.m. and culminates with the reveal of the new moniker at 5 p.m., highlighted by a drone show above PNC Field.

“We are excited to host The Adventure Begins Fall Festival, brought to you by the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, as we introduce the new brand,” SWB President and General Manager Shawn Reilly said. “The day will be filled with fun for the whole family, food, and so much more. We know the whole area wants to know that new name, and this is the day we make the big reveal to tell the world”

It marks the third major rebrand for a franchise, entering its 39th season in 2027. The Philadelphia Phillies moved their Triple-A affiliate to Moosic in 1989 as the Reb Barons. When the New York Yankees moved in after the 2006 season, the Red Barons became the Yankees for the next six seasons. In 2012, following a season-long renovation of PNC Field, team officials held a “Name the Team” contest where area fans participated in an online vote that included a handful of proposed names. The RailRiders won, outdistancing other suggestions like the Porcupines, Black Diamond Bears and Trolley Frogs.

On Aug. 11, team officials announced the latest rebrand, stating the new name will “celebrate the region’s beauty, heritage, and outdoor legacy.”

“Coming off an amazing 2026 season, we are ready to take the future to another level,” Reilly said. “We saw an incredible team filled with Yankees’ top prospects and top MLB rehabs, tremendous events and moments throughout the year like Banana Ball and Cosmic Baseball, plus key ballpark and entertainment upgrades.

“The Adventure Begins Fall Festival is an opportunity to come celebrate the region in all its glory and be a part of our history as it happens.”
