FIFA Fan Fest in NY/NJ scrapped as region shifts to smaller World Cup celebrations
NY/NJ's official FIFA Fan Fest at Liberty State Park has been canceled four months before the 2026 World Cup, as Gov. Mikie Sherrill pivots to a region-wide program of smaller watch parties and community events; ticket refunds are in process, and there will be no official NY/NJ Fan Fest, though other World Cup viewing experiences (Queens fan zone and NYC venues) will proceed as non-FIFA events.
