Mesa Daily Local Headlines: Baseball Museum Opens, Spring Calendar Fills Up
Mesa, AZ – February 25, 2026 – A new baseball museum opens, spring events ramp up, and Mesa highlights budget input and a street-safety PSA contest.
It’s a busy stretch for Mesa as spring training crowds return and a new local attraction opens its doors.
Arizona Baseball Museum opens
The Arizona Baseball Museum is now open in Mesa, built to preserve and share the state’s baseball story through photos, memorabilia, rotating exhibits, and personal accounts. The museum space itself has a history too, with the building dating to the 1930s and later serving as a community bomb shelter.
For locals, it’s a new reason to spend an afternoon near the Mesa Historical Museum campus, especially with spring training already pulling fans into town.
Spring events and spring training planning
A fresh round-up of Mesa spring happenings highlights a packed calendar tied to spring training, including arts activations and seasonal festivals. The same update also points visitors to a spring training guide with stadium maps, game-day tips, and ideas for dining and nearby activities.
If you’re hosting out-of-town friends, this is the kind of cheat sheet that helps you turn a single game into a full weekend itinerary.
City spotlight: budget input and safer-streets outreach
Mesa is also nudging residents to plug into the city’s budget season, with community meetings listed for early March and a longer timeline that leads to tentative adoption in May and final adoption in early June, ahead of the July 1 start of the next fiscal year.
On the transportation side, MesaMoves is promoting a MoveSafe student PSA contest. Submissions are currently being accepted through Feb. 28, with prizes including a bike and gift cards, and the chance to have student work featured.
