Seattle soccer fans celebrate exciting matches on day 6 of World Cup
While there weren't any matches being played in Seattle, soccer fans were celebrating at several local venues during watch parties for an exciting day 6 of World Cup action.
SEATTLE - A stretch of Ballard Avenue will transform into a Pride celebration and soccer watch party later this month, combining live performances, drag entertainment and international football matches in the heart of one of Seattle's most historic neighborhoods.
The all-day event, called Regnbue, is scheduled for Friday, June 26.
According to organizers, "Regnbue" is the Norwegian and Danish word for rainbow, a nod to Ballard's Scandinavian roots.
The festival will take over Ballard Avenue with street closures similar to those used during the neighborhood's popular farmers market.
Organizers say visitors can expect a vendor market, live entertainment and a large outdoor screen showing multiple matches throughout the day.
Morning kickoff
Festivities begin at 11:30 a.m. with a welcome from Sativa the Queen and music from DJ Summersoft.
The first soccer match of the day, Norway versus France, is scheduled to air from noon until 2 p.m.
Afternoon drag show and entertainment
Following the match, the focus shifts to live entertainment.
From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Sativa the Queen and guests will host a drag show accompanied by music from DJ Summersoft.
A second soccer match, Uruguay versus Spain, will follow from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Evening Pride performances
The celebration continues with Pride performances from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The day's featured Pride Day match, Iran versus Egypt is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. and will run until 10 p.m. on the outdoor screen.
What visitors should know
The performance stage and watch party area will be located near the intersection of 22nd Avenue Northwest and Ballard Avenue Northwest.
According to the event website, space directly in front of the stage and screen will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees are encouraged to bring low-profile chairs for viewing.
In addition to the watch party and performances, visitors can browse a vendor market throughout the event while enjoying the street festival atmosphere in Ballard's historic district.
