The St. Louis Cardinals Caravan returns to Jonesboro on Monday, January 19, 2026 at noon at the Embassy Suites Red Wolf Convention Center.
Visiting six states in five days, the Cardinals Caravan gives fans a chance to get up close and personal with their favorite team, and Jonesboro will be the only stop in Arkansas.
The attendees this year include Cardinals alumni Matt “Big City” Adams, 2014 NLDS hero, and Alan Benes. Current Cardinals attending will be Riley O’Brien, Gordon Graceffo, Liam Doyle & Blaze Jordan, with the event set to be emceed by Cardinals Radio Network studio host Matt Pauley.
As in previous years, the Cardinals will be implementing an autograph ticket system at each stop. The first 400 kids (15 and under) through the door on the day of the event will receive a free autograph ticket which guarantees one autograph from each current and former player. Due to high demand, autographs will only be available for fans 15 and under.
Additionally, fans 16 and older will receive two tickets to a 2026 Cardinals game. Also, this year’s Caravan is rolling out even more enhancements — including free admission at most programs, brand-new photo op station and other interactive fan experiences — making it the ultimate road trip through Cardinals Nation.
