The Bay and Sarasota Paradise are throwing a free, family-friendly World Cup kickoff party on the Sarasota waterfront this Sunday, June 14. They’re inviting everyone, from die-hard soccer fans to curious newcomers, to join a day-long festival at The Bay park.
The park will come alive with energy: you can catch live World Cup games on enormous screens set up under a big, shaded tent with stunning bay views. There’s a free 3v3 soccer tournament open to anyone, a packed fan zone full of soccer drills, lawn games, face painting, and giveaways. Sarasota Paradise players and coaches will be there, hanging out and signing autographs. The special guest for the day? Trevor Sinclair, former England star and World Cup veteran.
If you’re hungry, grab something from the local food trucks and themed booths serving up food and drinks all day.
Here’s the game plan:
– See Germany vs. Curaçao at 1 p.m. and Netherlands vs. Japan at 4 p.m.
– A 3v3 round-robin soccer tournament kicks off at 12:30 p.m. and goes until 2:30 p.m.
– Fan zone activities, meet-and-greets, and fresh local eats run all afternoon.
Everything’s free, everyone’s welcome, just bring your energy and be ready to celebrate.
