About this Event
The City of Inglewood, in partnership with Metro Los Angeles, is proud to announce TheWood Cup, a premier street festival taking over Downtown Inglewood on Friday, June 12,from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Spanning nearly a mile of the historic Market Street corridor, thisvehicle-free event celebrates the intersection of sports, culture, and community as theworld’s eyes turn toward Inglewood for the start of the FIFA World Cup.
Powered by the Metro Open Streets Grant (which encourages the adoption of sustainabletransportation), The Wood Cup will transform Market Street into a vibrant, family-friendlycultural sports hub divided into six distinct zones with inter-generational experiences for thewhole family, including local artist showcases, a beer and wine garden, and liveperformances from Emi Secrest, Blanco y Negro, South Side Symphony, and more. Visitors will also enjoy pop-ups from various Inglewood-based small businesses - all invited toparticipate as vendors at no cost.
Less than a mile from Hollywood Park, The Wood Cup moves beyond the traditional streetfair to highlight the sophistication and vibrancy of the Inglewood community. The Metro KLine takes locals, and even visitors flying in from LAX, directly to Market Street to enjoy thefestival.
Festival-goers can enjoy interactive futsal activations and an inflatable soccer pitch in theSoccer Turf Zone, featuring appearances by professional soccer stars, including FIFAWorld Cup legend Paul Caligiuri, Fox Sports Soccer Analyst Martín Zúñiga, retired MLSplayer and assistant coach to El Salvador’s national team Mauricio Cienfuegos, and 2002MLS Rookie of the Year Kyle Martino.

The Wood Cup festival will culminate in a watch party for USA vs. Paraguay, the openingmatch of the FIFA World Cup. The viewing experience, hosted by local luxury sneakerboutique Kingsrowe, in conjunction with Adidas, will begin right after the festival at 6:00pm.
