The countdown is on! The FIFA World Cup 26™ is coming to Atlanta this summer, and Decatur is welcoming the world with Decatur WatchFest 26. It’s a free 34-day watch party on our downtown square where you can catch heart-pounding, must-see matches on a big, brand-new outdoor screen (pending FIFA approval).
And there’s more: Decatur’s kickoff celebration concert on June 11 features Big Boi as the headliner. Decatur’s own Grammy-winning Indigo Girls will close out our festivities on July 19. In between we have more national acts to announce along with plenty of local talent.
Just steps away, pop into a WatchSpot — soccer-loving local restaurants, pubs, and breweries where you can grab a seat, a tasty bite and a drink, and not miss a minute. Or snag a to-go cocktail or cold beer and head back outside to watch on the big screen. Bounce between inside and out, sip and stroll, and enjoy WatchFest your way.
Everyone is welcome! Come cheer, chant, dance, and watch world-class soccer—Decatur-style.
