A free, all-ages community watch party for the Haiti vs. Scotland World Cup soccer match will be held this  Saturday night (June 13) at the Menino Convention & Exhibition Center (MCEC) Ballroom on Summer Street in the Seaport District.

The event, hosted in partnership with the US Haitian Chamber of Commerce and the National Haitian American Elected Officials Network, will begin at 6 p.m. with cultural activities, local vendors, food, shopping, and live entertainment before the 9 p.m. match viewing. 

Organizers are encouraging guests to RSVP through BostonFanZone.com.

The opening night celebration will highlight Haitian culture and community pride. World-renowned Haitian music artist Alan Cavé is scheduled to perform live before kickoff, helping set the stage for an evening built around music, soccer, and shared cultural celebration.
