The Junior Giants Festival celebrated Junior Giants teams that successfully completed the Home Run Level of the Round the Bases Reading Program, a campaign designed by the Giants Community Fund to encourage reading throughout the summer. Participants reach First Base after reading the Junior Giants handbook, Second Base after reading for four hours and Third Base after reading for eight hours. Once all of the players on a team account for 12 hours of reading and reach the Home Run level, their team earns the chance to visit AT&T Park for the festival.
