The World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters are bringing their newly reimagined “Spread Game” tour to Beaumont on Friday, April 8, at 7 p.m. inside Ford Arena. Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com.

The Spread Game Tour is a basketball event like no other. Ankle-breaking moves, jaw-dropping swag, and rim-rattling dunks are only some of the thrill you can expect from this fully modernized show. Part streetball from the players who defined it, part interactive family entertainment, the new tour will show off the best of the Globetrotters in a dazzling exhibition of talent and game.

The Spread Game Tour introduces new premium fan experiences with unprecedented access and interaction, including celebrity court passes, meet and greets with players, and the #SQUADZONE, where fans have the opportunity to feel like part of the show.

“All of the NBA is playing like the Harlem Globetrotters, showcasing moves we’ve been defining for decades. The Spread Game Tour is a chance to satisfy our fans’ undeniable thirst for exceptional basketball while continuing as trailblazers in an ever-changing culture,” stated Jeff Munn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Harlem Globetrotters. “We believe our fans will be excited to be there with us as we unveil a completely transformed sports spectacular.”

The tour will emphasize the player’s world-renowned basketball skills while also introducing exciting, never-before-seen characters guaranteed to energize the action and entertainment of every game.

Led by former Globetrotter star “High Rise” Barry Hardy as Vice President of Player Personnel and Tour Development, the talented roster includes Torch George, Thunder Law, Bulldog Mack, Hot Shot Swanson, Jet Rivers, Wham Middleton and Big Easy Lofton. Attendees can also purchase a “Magic Pass” that allows them to join the Harlem Globetrotters on court before the game to shoot some hoops, get autographs and snap pics.

Ford Park is located at 5115 Interstate 10 South in Beaumont.
