Experience FIFA Fan Festival Dallas as the ultimate free, open-to-all home base for World Cup fans, where Fair Park transforms into a 1-million-square-foot celebration packed with live match broadcasts, concerts, games, food and culture from June 11-July 19.

Fan Festival is in Fair Park, home of the State Fair of Texas and the world's largest collection of art deco exhibit buildings. View the complete schedule.

Fair Park turns into a walkable village for fans, with giant viewing areas, mini-pitches, sponsor zones and food courts stretching across Lots 9 and 10 and The Pavilion amphitheater. Up to 35,000 fans can be inside the festival at once.

Gather at The Pavilion with thousands of fellow supporters as matches and headlining performances light up the massive main stage screens.

Enjoy interactive games, giveaways and cultural showcases.

Families and friends can jump straight from watching the pros to playing the beautiful game on the mini-pitches. Skills contests, pickup games and kid-friendly drills make the sport accessible to everyone, with viewing screens close by so visitors never miss a moment of live FIFA World Cup action.

The FIFA Fan Festival Dallas welcomes guests of all ages. Note that all attendees - including children and infants - are required to have their own free ticket for entry.
