UPDATE: The watch party for Tuesday, November 29 has been canceled.
Tampa Bay’s biggest World Cup watch party is coming to downtown St. Pete this November. In fact, there will be three of them, as the new series will take over Williams Park for Team USA World Cup 2022 watch parties on November 21, 25, and 29.

The massive watch parties are all-day celebrations, complete with pre and post-game live music, a Rowdies kids zone, local beer and food trucks, and a gigantic 18-foot HD screen showcasing the games. All matches will be played with premium surround sound throughout the park, with cannons and effects sounding at every USA goal. Tickets are available here.
Not only will these watch parties be the biggest in the bay, they will be among the most spirited, as well. Each match day will feature a pre-game pep rally led by the American Outlaws St. Pete chapter, a singing of the National Anthem, and of course each USA match broadcast live as the U.S. takes on Wales, England and Iran.
Featured food trucks will include MnM Barbecue, JB’s Sweet Addiction, and Lucky’s Italian Ice, while Great Bay Distributing will be offering a wide variety of national and local beers in cans and on draft. There will also be musical performances from bands such as The Black Honkeys, Mighty Fine Peppers, 22N, and more.
