As North Texas prepares to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Town of Addison is inviting residents and visitors to celebrate with a free four-day soccer festival at Addison Circle Park.
Kick It in Addison will take place June 11-14 at Addison Circle Park, 4970 Addison Circle, featuring live match screenings, family activities, food trucks, music and soccer-themed entertainment. Admission is free.
The event will center around a giant outdoor video screen broadcasting World Cup matches throughout the weekend. Organizers plan to show every match with a kickoff time of 9 p.m. or earlier.
In addition to the watch parties, attendees can enjoy bounce houses, lawn games, coloring activities, DJs, live entertainment and a pickup soccer area designed for children and families. Free rally towels will be distributed while supplies last.
Each day will feature a different theme:
• June 11 — "Goaaaalllazzo!"
• June 12 — "America 250"
• June 13 — "Soccer Saturday"
• June 14 — "Fútbol Sunday"
Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the event, including offerings from several food trucks and Tapville's mobile beer and wine taproom. Guests may also bring their own food and nonalcoholic beverages.
Families are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs for picnic-style seating. Limited tables, benches and shaded seating areas will be available on-site.
The event comes as North Texas prepares to serve as one of the host regions for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with multiple tournament matches scheduled at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
Kick It in Addison runs from noon to 11 p.m. June 11, 12 and 14, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. June 13. More information and a complete schedule are available at Visit Addison.
