Derek, a Braves organization representative, and Jeremiah, senior vice president of global events for Major League Baseball, told reporters that Atlanta will host the 2025 All‑Star Week at Truist Park and surrounding sites and that the series of events will draw about 100,000 visitors and produce an estimated $50 million in economic impact.

Organizers said the All‑Star Game itself will be streamed to more than 200 countries and that activities will extend beyond the ballpark into the Battery Atlanta, Cobb Galleria, Georgia Tech and other sites across the metropolitan area. "We couldn't be more excited," Derek said. "We have been working for years, literally years, in the planning of this event. And so we are excited to welcome the world." Jeremiah added that local partners and public‑safety agencies had been involved in detailed planning: "It is really the people on the ground ... who make these things happen."

Why it matters: The Braves and Major League Baseball framed the week as both a tourism and community event that will bring national and international attention to Cobb County and Atlanta while generating business for local hospitality, retail and services. Organizers said the event campus will include Truist Park and the Battery Atlanta as the focal point, with additional programming across the region to spread economic activity.

Most important details: Organizers listed a slate of events spanning the week. The Home Run Derby is scheduled for Monday night and the All‑Star Game on Tuesday. Earlier and concurrent events include the Futures Game and a celebrity softball game on Saturday, an All‑Star Village fan fest at the Cobb Galleria running four days, the HBCU Swingmen Classic on Friday, a 4.4‑miler running event tied to the old Turner Field site in Summerhill, and youth tournaments such as the Jenny Finch Classic and the Commissioner's Cup with finals at Georgia Tech. Jeremiah said the Home Run Derby X will make its All‑Star debut at Georgia Tech ball fields.

Organizers credited multiple public and private partners. Derek thanked Gov. Brian Kemp, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and Cobb County leadership by name, and singled out county manager Jackie McMorris and other county staff for assistance. Jeremiah said the Cobb tourism and sports organization, the Atlanta Sports Council and law enforcement partners had been integral to planning and safety coordination.

Local scale and logistics: Derek said about 500 Braves staff have assisted with planning alongside their regular duties. Organizers emphasized efforts to extend access to fans who do not have ballpark tickets by programming spaces in the Battery Atlanta and other sites. They also highlighted an emphasis on legacy projects that will remain after the All‑Star Game, with April (an organizer mentioned but not quoted here) to discuss the legacy work in more detail.

No formal government actions were taken at the press event. The remarks were a briefing about event logistics, partners and anticipated impacts rather than a policy decision or vote.

Organizers encouraged fans to visit allstargame.com for event schedules and ticket information. "We definitely encourage fans to go to allstargame.com to check out all the latest events," Jeremiah said.
