In Dallas, a large World Cup watch party is being prepared at Fair Park. The event, called FIFA Fan Fest, will be held in the parking lots near Dos Equis Pavilion. Organizers have made additions to the area, including turf and pavilion structures, to accommodate fans.

Screens will also be set up for viewing. Further details about the 39-day event, which is free to attend, can be found through NBC DFW, including the start date of Thursday.
