No Cardinals Caravan Coming to Northeast Missouri This January

In a surprising move, the St. Louis Cardinals have shared their January 2026 caravan schedule and there is no stop in northeast Missouri for the first time in as long as I can remember.

This was the share by the St. Louis Cardinals on their Facebook page today

A representative for the St. Louis Cardinals reached out to clarify why the Hannibal/Quincy area will not have a caravan this winter. Here are details of what was shared:

"Each year the Cardinals marketing team builds our Caravan schedule taking into account a wide variety of factors including historic visits (where we’ve been in the past, where we need to visit that we haven’t in a few years, etc.), player availability and travel and timing within the narrow window of the MLK holiday weekend. Historically, we have rotated cities or regions in and out of the schedule based on those factors. "
