Friends coming to Philadelphia for the World Cup are going to ask what they should do between matches.

You could send them to the Liberty Bell and call it a day. Technically, that works. But if you actually like these people and want them to leave thinking that Philadelphia was way more fun than they expected, you need a better plan.

A busy weekend is upon us! The city is packed with World Cup festivities, Juneteenth celebrations, street festivals, outdoor parties, live music, rooftop drinks, neighborhood events, and clearly enough excuses to leave your apartment that doing none of the above is simply not an option. Here are 25 things worth checking out this weekend: 

There are several different avenues you can take when considering how you will watch the next World Cup match. You can watch it from your couch, where the snacks are close. You can also always squeeze into a bar like any other weekend. Or you can head to the FIFA Fan Festival Lemon Hill, where Philadelphia has turned a patch of Fairmount Park into an unrecognizable soccer hangout with incredible skyline views, big screens, food, drinks, and music (yeah, this option is our favorite).

All great World Cup watch parties do not necessarily need to happen inside a traditional sports bar. Across Philadelphia, breweries are transforming taprooms into match day destinations complete with everything you need to have a smashing good time. We’re talking giant projectors, drink specials, giveaways, and food features.

If you're looking to trade sticky bar floors for fresh beer and a little more breathing room, these breweries are making a strong case for becoming your World Cup headquarters.

Philadelphia is a growing soccer city, and with FIFA fever taking over, there’s no shortage of places to catch a match. Which is quite lucky, because this isn’t a plop-down-on-the-couch event. No, no, it's a stand-up-when-someone-hits-the-post event. A spill-your-drink-after-a-90th-minute-goal event. A lose-your-voice-because-your-team-survived-extra-time event.

And, thank God for soccer fans, Philadelphia knows how to watch a tournament.

The city has spent years building a soccer culture that stretches far beyond Subaru Park. If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate, commiserate, or scream at a referee, these are some of the best soccer bars to do so in Philadelphia.
