Phoenix, AZ – February 22, 2024 – Today, the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) announces the debut of its inaugural All-Star Weekend; a three-day event that will captivate sports fans across the country. The debut of this first-of-its-kind, weekend-long event further demonstrates the organization’s goal to employ new and exciting initiatives for fans and players alike, such as with the announcement of the PBA Elite League season expansion.

Taking place live from March 6-8 at Phoenix’s iconic Phoenix Raceway, PBA All-Star Weekend promises to be a mid-season landmark event for the PBA. It is a true collaboration between the PBA, Professional Women’s Bowling Association (PWBA), NASCAR and GoBowling – a proud sponsor of Phoenix Raceway and the PBA.
