As the FIFA World Cup heads into its decisive final week, Miami soccer fans have one more place to gather after the FIFA Fan Festival’s run at Bayfront Park came to an end. Through Sunday, July 19, Nationale 2026’s The People’s Club is hosting free waterfront watch parties at The Island at Bayside Marketplace, pairing live match screenings with DJ sets and dance parties that stretch well into the night.
Running daily from noon to 11 p.m., the nine-day series combines soccer, music, food, and community at a time when the tournament is reaching its biggest matches and momentum. The schedule includes the semifinals on July 14 and 15, the third-place match on July 18, and the World Cup final on July 19, with DJs and party collectives taking over once the day’s action wraps up.
Programming kicked off on Friday and will continue on Monday, July 13, when Generous B & Friends opens the week with a sunset party featuring Hakuna, Potts, Louie Dager, and 9Lives.
Tuesday’s semifinal watch party gives way to Tudo Bem, a Brazilian-inspired dance collective featuring Jean Sean, LotuSOPH, and Gruesome, followed by Rum & Bass, whose lineup includes Major Lazer’s Walshy Fire alongside Disco Neil, Slim City Live, Nine Trey, Mili Marv, and DJ Psycho. Later that evening, Arisan keeps the music going.
Wednesday’s second semifinal pairs the action on the pitch with sets from The Honey Party, featuring PeeWee and Bellamar, followed by Medium Cool, with Extraandrew and Jovigibs, before Scotty Sobek closes out the night.
