COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. – The West Michigan Whitecaps, in partnership with Visit Central Florida, are giving fans the chance to trade cloudy and cold West Michigan winter for blue skies and sunshine with the launch of the Michigan Snowbirds Florida Vacation Giveaway presented by Visit Central Florida, highlighted by an unforgettable vacation package for four.

  • A two-night stay at LEGOLAND® Florida Resort
  • Four tickets to Bok Tower Gardens

Fans can enter the giveaway now by visiting WhitecapsBaseball.com. The contest is part of the Whitecaps' all new Michigan Snowbirds Night, flocking to LMCU Ballpark on Saturday, August 1.

" We're excited to introduce the very first Michigan Snowbirds Night at LMCU Ballpark," said Ben Love, Director of Marketing for the West Michigan Whitecaps. "This promotion is all about celebrating the Michiganders who love spending the winter months in the warm weather and the beautiful baseball season back in Michigan. And thanks to our incredible partners at Visit Central Florida, we're able to make that dream a reality for one lucky fan with an unforgettable Florida vacation. We can't wait to kick off what we hope becomes a tradition for years to come."

The grand prize vacation package showcases some of Central Florida's top attractions, from the family-friendly adventures of LEGOLAND® Florida Resort to the scenic beauty of Bok Tower Gardens, along with convenient nonstop service to Lakeland on Avelo Airlines.

Fans are encouraged to enter early and secure their tickets for Michigan Snowbirds Night before the promotion takes flight.

The Michigan Snowbird is a fascinating and widely recognized figure across the Great Lakes State. Instantly identifiable by their seasonal style—white nose slathered in zinc oxide, knee-high socks paired with sandals, and a relaxed demeanor that says “I’ve earned this”—the Snowbird represents the Michigander who heads south when winter arrives and returns home when the sun is shining and baseball is back in full swing. The evening will feature tropical-themed entertainment, vacation-inspired ballpark fun, and plenty of opportunities for fans to embrace their inner snowbird.
