World Cup fans who do not have a stadium ticket are getting the next best thing in West Hollywood, where two neighborhood parks are being transformed into free FIFA World Cup 2026 fan zones this June. Plummer Park will host a local weekend activation on June 12 and 13, while West Hollywood Park is set for a longer festival stretch from June 25 to 28. The West Hollywood Park lineup includes the U.S. premiere of Discofoot, a dance‑meets‑football performance, alongside a beer garden, a kids’ mini‑pitch, and live match screenings. Every event is free and open to the public.
According to the City of West Hollywood, both fan‑zone sites will feature large LED‑screen match broadcasts, food vendors, DJs and curated family programming. Plummer Park is slated to host an opening‑night screening tied to the U.S. Men’s match on June 12, while West Hollywood Park will sync its programming with the U.S. group match on June 25 and stage Discofoot performances from Thursday through Saturday. City officials say the goal is to offer free, accessible viewing options that complement the region’s official Fan Festival rather than compete with it.
Local outlets are already filling in the practical details. WEHOonline reports that Plummer Park is expected to operate from roughly 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both June 12 and 13, with the U.S. screening planned for around 6 p.m. The city’s tourism site, Visit West Hollywood, spotlights DJ sets, merchandise, and the beer‑garden offerings pitched at fans of all ages.
Discofoot Explained
According to Preljocaj, Discofoot was created by choreographers Petter Jacobsson and Thomas Caley as a hybrid performance that swaps traditional running for choreography while players still score goals. Judges award style points alongside goals, which turns each match into something that is part dance show and part sport. The piece, which debuted in France in 2016 and has toured European festivals, will have its U.S. premiere in West Hollywood as part of the city’s arts plan, according to the City of West Hollywood announcement.
How West Hollywood Is Producing The Zones
Behind the scenes, City Council staff documents show that the city issued a request for proposals, selected production firms and set aside roughly $250,000 for fan‑zone production and about $275,000 for the Discofoot presentation, according to the West Hollywood City Council. The same report notes that the city will waive certain municipal fees and coordinate with regional partners on public‑safety and logistics for the duration of the activations.
Anyone interested in vending, performing, sponsoring or volunteering is being routed through the city’s fan‑zones portal, and WEHOonline links directly to the applications page for sign‑ups and further details. With Los Angeles hosting eight World Cup matches and an official FIFA Fan Festival at the Memorial Coliseum, West Hollywood’s activations stand out as one of several free ways to watch the tournament locally, as outlined by the Los Angeles Times. Visitors are being urged to plan ahead for travel and consider transit or rideshare on match days, and Visit West Hollywood offers tips for getting around during the tournament.
