Georgia is inviting the world to watch this summer! That’s right, Atlanta is the city to be in for all soccer fans this year and I’m here to make sure you miss none of the action! If you can’t make it to the stadium this year, fret not, there are plenty of watch parties happening all around you! 

This year, the tournament spans from June 11-19 and Explore Gwinnett is hosting four confirmed watch parties. These parties will be more than just a nice room with a big screen and surround sound because Explore Gwinnett wants to take this chance to highlight Gwinnett’s rich culture, diversity and hospitality for travelers and locals alike. Expect good vibes, local food vendors and food trucks, as well as quality drinks, because Georgia doesn’t mess around when it comes to a shindig! 

Even if you can’t make it to the pitch — be it prices, timing or the commute – you can probably make it to Gwinnett Field (formerly known as Coolray Field) on June 15 for their first official watch party. Or, if the 15th is a no-go for you, slide over to the City of Suwannee on June 27 to see where the chips have fallen after the game is over. Hopefully, your team is victorious! The other two watch parties take place in July; the City of Peachtree Corners is inviting all to see all the juiciest clips and best plays on July 7 and the City of Norcross aims to end things with a bang on July 15! Stay tuned to find out where and when these parties are taking place by visiting Explore Gwinnett’s website. 

You can also host your own watch party this year! Many event venues are opening their doors to both corporate and personal parties, like District Atlanta. If you’re a true party animal, you’ll fit right in here. Hop off the couch this summer and score a spot at one of the biggest parties of the year!
