About this Event

More than a watch party.

ONLY IN PHILLY at The Link is an all-day cultural gathering for locals, families, visiting soccer fans, travelers, and international guests exploring Philadelphia.

Stop in between museums, historic sites, galleries, and city events. Recharge while exploring Olde City. Bring the kids for afternoon activities. Watch the 5 PM game. Stay for the after party.

This is a relaxed July 4th experience where Philadelphia art, history, food, music, sports, and community come together under one roof.

For Locals

Celebrate without cooking, cleaning, hosting, or planning.

For Visitors

Meet locals and experience the real Philly beyond the usual tourist stops.

For Soccer Fans
