The Leicestershire Foxes are to beam back the Twenty20 Finals Day from the Brit Oval to Grace Road on a giant screen on Saturday.
And they aim to make it party time with a barbecue and entertainment for the whole family with a bouncy castle, face painters and plenty of refreshments including hot and cold food and an ice-cream van.
The County have been allocated 1,500 tickets for The Oval despite more than 5,000 following their progress in home games this season.
But they are hoping to create the same kind of atmosphere for the beamback that has been evident for the group games at Grace Road.
"A large number of families have been present at our home matches in the Twenty20 Cup and we believe they will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the special atmosphere of being here," said Tracey Stevenson, Leicestershire's sales and marketing manager.
"For a lot of those families, the cost of going to The Brit Oval would be a huge expense with tickets ranging between £30 and £40, while we have also taken into account the size of our allocation.
"There has been phenomenal interest in the limited number of tickets we have been allocated, and so we anticipate there will be a great many who will be disappointed that they can't go too.
"Therefore, this occasion offers them the chance to come down here and have a great time - and we hope they will be able to celebrate another Leicestershire triumph in the competition."
Tickets for the Grace Road event are £15 for a family of two adults and two under-18s, while they are £8 for an individual.
These can be booked in advance on 0871 282 1871 or payment can be made on the day.
Entry from 11.0 will be via the Curzon Road gates with free car parking available on the ground.
The first semi-final featuring Surrey and Lancashire gets under way at 11.30, while the Foxes take on Somerset Sabres at 3.0 and the final is scheduled to start at 7.15.
Tickets for the Finals Day went on sale at Grace Road yesterday with priority being given to members and Twenty20 season-ticket holders until tomorrow lunchtime.
Any remaining tickets will go on general sale on Monday morning. Each member and Twenty20 Cup season-ticket will be permitted two tickets for the big occasion.
Ticket prices for the finals day are £30, £35 and £40 and the ticket office at Grace Road will be open until 8.0 tonight and from 9.0 until 1.0 tomorrow.
