Copa America fan fest planned for Houston - Houston Business Journal (bizjournals.com)

"Houston is hosting three matches for the South American Football Confederation — known as CONMEBOL for the Spanish abbreviation of its name — Copa America tournament in June and July. It’s the first time the competition is returning to the Bayou City since 2016. In addition to the multiple local games, the city will host a fan festival on June 30 as part of the tournament.

The festival will take place at Discovery Green downtown and will feature activities for people of all ages, said Chris Massey, vice president at the Harris County Houston Sports Authority. The free event will have three main zones: an area with multiple screens to watch out-of-market matches, an interactive gaming area and a beer garden for a more relaxed environment. Additionally, the festival will include food trucks, inflatables, DJs, music and other entertainment."
