Global Game, Local Energy
This summer, the global game of soccer lands in New England. Providence, Rhode Island’s “Creative Capital,” will serve as an officially designated FIFA World Cup Fan Zone for matches at nearby Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium).
At the heart of it all: the PVD FanZone at Station Park. Open from June 11 through July 19, the PVD FanZone anchors Rhode Island’s Summer of Soccer with a dynamic lineup of watch parties, live music, interactive games, a rotating lineup of local food trucks, a beer, wine & spirits garden and more!
The PVD FanZone brings fan excitement and city energy together in one place and is just steps from the train station, shopping, hotels, dining, nightlife, and the Downtown Riverwalk.
