2026 Cactus League Annual Luncheon presented by Gila River Resorts & Casinos
We’re pleased to welcome our members, supporters, industry partners, sponsors and fans to one of the Cactus League’s cornerstone events — the 2026 Cactus League Annual Luncheon. This long-standing gathering convenes leaders from Arizona’s baseball, business, and tourism communities for an afternoon centered on storytelling, nostalgia and the culture of Spring Training in Arizona. The lunch also gives the CLA a chance as an organization to recognize the best of our industry.
Held at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass, the Annual Luncheon features an engaging program that brings Spring Training stories to life through keynote speakers, lively discussions, and moments that celebrate the people, teams, and traditions fans love. The event offers a chance to connect, reflect on the season’s impact, and continue the dialogue that sustains the Cactus League’s role in Arizona’s economy and culture.
