Atlanta has officially opened its FIFA Fan Festival at Centennial Olympic Park, marking the city's return to global sporting history 30 years after hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.
The festival runs across 18 select days from June 11 through July 15, 2026, featuring performances from Summer Walker, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Universoul Circus, and DJ Rasta Root.
Atlanta is set to host eight World Cup matches, including a semifinal, with about 300,000 fans expected in the city across the tournament.
The festival features a 47-foot Jumbotron for match screenings, a Coca-Cola Fan Zone, a beer garden, a playground, merchandise and food stands, and a concert series.
Admission to the festival is free, but attendees must present a pre-registered digital ticket obtained through the official Atlanta host committee portal.
A rolling daily capacity cap of 15,000 people will be enforced, and clear bag policies are in place at all entrance checkpoints.
The festival is operated in partnership with FIFA and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority and will take over the entire footprint of Centennial Olympic Park.
