Venice Beach
at full volume.

Venice Beach, California. The 2026 FIFA World Cup. The official Los Angeles World Cup 26 Fan Zone at Venice Beach, on Windward Plaza — two days of live match viewing on one of the most photographed pieces of coastline on Earth.

A massive LED screen. Stadium-quality sound. The crowd in jerseys, the boardwalk packed, the ocean a hundred feet from the screen. Live music and DJs between and after matches, food and beverage from coastal hospitality partners, and an atmosphere built for the moment the world stops to watch.

This is more than a watch party.
