The 2026 Annual Doc Adams Old Time Base Ball Festival was held on August 8-9 at Old Bethpage Village Restoration.

In 2015, this longest running annual vintage base ball festival of its kind was renamed in honor of Daniel Lucius ‘Doc’ Adams. This year’s festival once again lived up its reputation as a must see for baseball fans, history buffs, and anyone looking for a day of outdoor fun.

Even though it was a hot and humid weekend, and not the traditional 1st weekend in August, the ballists and cranks fully enjoyed the weekend, with a great time was had by all.

We continue to honor and raise awareness about Doc Adams, the long-overlooked baseball pioneer, who will hopefully find a home in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
