KIRKLAND, Wash. – The City of Kirkland invites community members and softball enthusiasts to cheer on their favorite team at the 2025 Junior League Softball World Series. This is the 25th year in a row that the City of Kirkland has hosted the series, and the event has grown into one of Kirkland’s most cherished sports traditions.
The Junior League Softball World Series is a great reminder of the positive role sports can play in youths’ lives,” said Councilmember Amy Falcone. “It’s a wonderful display of determination, sportsmanship, goodwill, and friendship. Come down and root for the home team!”
Running from July 27 through August 2, the series will be held at Everest Park where youth softball teams from all over the world will both compete and have the opportunity to build lasting friendships with fellow players.
To get into team spirit, the week-long community softball celebration will begin on Friday, July 25 with a celebrity softball game at 3 p.m. in Peter Kirk Park followed by a family-friendly, community rally. The event will feature a welcoming ceremony for the teams, as well as team photo ops, live performances, and a special outdoor movie screening of “A League of Their Own”.
And this year Kirkland fans have an extra reason to visit the ballfield. The Kirkland Juniors All-Star Softball team has earned a chance to play in the series by winning the District 9 Washington Championship. Kirkland game-goers have a chance to root for the home team.
