With the World Cup well underway across North America, Massachusetts has been getting a closer look at the game than most. With Boston Stadium hosting several matches, fans across the state have caught FIFA fever.

In Fitchburg, the Department of Parks and Recreation partnered with Massachusetts Youth Soccer to bring that energy to Coolidge Park with a World Cup Watch Party. Complete with a massive LED screen, inflatable soccer pitches, food, and plenty of fans, the event created an exciting afternoon of community, competition, and World Cup action.
