Don't miss Princeton's World Cup Watch Parties and new Global Food Passport!
Princeton is going global this summer and we want you in on it!

We’re bringing the World Cup energy to the streets of Princeton with three incredible outdoor watch parties, live DJs, kids activities, and a Global Food Festival celebrating the flavors and cultures that make this community so special. And if that wasn’t enough — we’re launching the Princeton Global Food Passport, your ticket to prizes, points, and all the best bites in town.
Here’s where to find the World Cup festivities:
June 20: Monument Hall Park, 11 a.m.–4 p.m.
Kick off the Global Food Passport with our first watch party! Check in, earn points, and watch Netherlands vs. Sweden at 1 p.m. with DJ Darius the 1st and activities for the kids.
June 28: Princeton Shopping Center Courtyard, 1 p.m.–6 p.m.
A Global Food Festival featuring your favorite local restaurants, DJ Darius the 1st, kids activities, and a World Cup match at 3 p.m.
July 14: Palmer Square on Hulfish Street , 1 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Bastille Day meets the World Cup! Celebrate with French food, a traditional Waiters Sprint, a toast to Princeton’s sister city of Colmar, France, a live DJ, kids activities, and a 3 p.m. match.
And don’t forget the Global Food Passport!
