Harlem Globetrotters, Presented by United Bank, to Perform at Shenandoah University for Fifth Time
Tickets Are On Sale Now For March 6 Event
The Harlem Globetrotters, as part of their 2025 World Tour presented by Jersey Mike’s Subs, are returning to Winchester to dazzle fans with their world-famous basketball act.
The Globetrotters, who entertained a capacity crowd at Shenandoah University’s James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletics and Events Center last spring, will return to SU to take on the Washington Generals at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 6, marking the fifth time they’ve performed in Winchester since 2018. The Globetrotters previously performed at Shenandoah in 2018, 2021, 2023, and 2024.
Tickets start at $25 and are available for purchase at eventbrite.com. Approximately 1,800 tickets are being sold, and all tickets will be reserved seating. The Globetrotters’ four previous appearances in Winchester sold out, and the 2025 edition is expected to be no different.
Doors to the Wilkins Athletics and Events Center will open at 6 p.m. Attendees have the opportunity to purchase a Magic Pass, which grants access to a special pregame experience during which attendees can learn tricks, shoot hoops, get autographs and take photos with the Globetrotters. Doors for Magic Pass ticket holders open at 5 p.m., and the 30-minute pregame event begins at 5:30 p.m. Magic Pass tickets are limited, and all Magic Pass participants must also purchase an event ticket to enter the venue. All people entering during the Magic Pass program must have purchased a Magic Pass ticket.
The event is organized by Russ Potts Productions, Inc. (RPPI) and sponsored by United Bank.
The Harlem Globetrotters are always a hit in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, and RPPI is excited to once again bring this world-famous show back to Winchester for a night of family-friendly entertainment. This event is always a sellout at Shenandoah University, so we encourage fans to purchase their tickets early to guarantee themselves a seat. These tickets are also available just in time for the holidays and make great gifts for friends and family! We’re thrilled to continue working with our tremendous partners at Shenandoah University, United Bank and Bright Futures-Frederick/Winchester to make this event a success.”
