Check out EBO+Co. Grocery Snack Shack
A new Little League snack shack at Festa Field has officially launched! In addition to the shrimp cocktail, yes, shrimp cocktail, they also offer empanadas, oysters, hot dogs, chips, candy, cookies, and, of course, sunflower seeds, all perfectly curated by EBO + Co. Grocery! If only they served wine…let’s put that out there into the universe! Open M-F from 5:30pm until the end of the game… which anyone who has a kid who plays baseball knows could mean 45 minutes or 2.5 hours.
