HARTFORD, CT — A popular culinary destination in Connecticut’s capital city says it will be the place to be to watch the biggest sporting event on the planet.

Parkville Market in Hartford will kick off its “Summer of Soccer” celebration June 11 with a watch party for the Mexico-South Africa match, launching a series of soccer-themed events planned throughout the summer.

The Hartford food hall will broadcast matches both inside the venue and on its outdoor patio.

Organizers said opening-day activities will include face painting, custom T-shirt making, giveaways and a 360-degree photo booth.

Parkville Market’s 22 food vendors, which feature cuisines from around the world, are expected to be a central part of the experience as visitors gather to watch international soccer matches.

In addition to match broadcasts, visitors can use the venue’s new mini soccer pitch outside.

Organizers encouraged guests to bring their own soccer balls and play during events.

“Soccer is the world’s game, and Parkville Market is where the world comes together,” said Carlos Mouta, owner and CEO of Parkville Market. “And let’s go Portugal!”

Special event activations are planned for June 11, June 27 and the tournament final on July 19, according to organizers.

Located at 1400 Park St. in Hartford, Parkville Market is Connecticut’s first and largest food hall. The venue includes 22 restaurants, three bars, private event spaces and outdoor dining areas.
