If there is one place to watch the World Cup semifinals in Atlanta, this might be it.

On Wednesday, July 15, from noon to 6 p.m., The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is teaming up with Monday Night Brewing at The Grove for an outdoor watch party celebrating the tournament’s Atlanta semifinal.

Fans can catch every moment on giant LED screens while soaking up the kind of atmosphere that makes major tournaments feel like neighborhood block parties.

Expect live music, interactive soccer activities, special guests and plenty of fellow fans ready to cheer every goal, save and near miss. Monday Night Brewing will also offer a special beer passport featuring limited brews inspired by countries competing in the tournament, alongside multiple bars serving drinks throughout the afternoon.

There will be raffles for prizes including Atlanta United tickets, signed jerseys and other giveaways, making it worth sticking around even after the halftime whistle.

Families are welcome. Team colors are encouraged. Soccer enthusiasm is practically required.

Admission is free, but each guest must RSVP in advance at Kick It With AJC.
