The World Cup matches may be over for Dallas, but the official FIFA Fan Festival at Dallas' Fair Park remains open for the final weekend.




The festival offers more than just a place to watch the games on massive screens.

Director of Events and Entertainment for the North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee Cindy Solomon says they have local vendors, areas to escape the heat, and a playground.

"Our playground area is for kids of all ages," Solomon said. "We have a mini-pitch and on that mini-pitch, all day long, we have people just playing pick-up soccer games."

You have to have a ticket to get in but the vast majority of tickets are free.

There are other packages that include guaranteed seats while watching the matches.

"We have every type of food available," Solomon said. "You can get a funnel cake, you can get some friend cookies, some of our State Fair favorites, they're here too."

England plays France in Saturday's 4:00pm third place game. Argentina takes on Spain for the final on Sunday at 2:00pm o'clock.
