La Fiesta Fútbol en Chelsea continúa convocando a vendedores, negocios de comida y artistas
The city of Chelsea is hosting “Fiesta Fútbol,” a series of World Cup watch parties in Chelsea Square featuring giant screen broadcasts via Telemundo. Funded by a $175,000 state grant from the Healey-Driscoll administration, the event runs for 39 days until July 19 to serve a community where two-thirds of residents are Latino or Hispanic.
How can vendors and artists join Fiesta Fútbol?
The city is currently seeking food and product vendors, as well as live performers, to participate in the watch parties. According to city officials, the call for participants includes musicians, dancers, and family-oriented artists to perform in the plaza before and between matches.
Interested parties can apply by completing an interest form located on the official Fiesta Fútbol website. These vendors and artists will support an event that has already drawn hundreds of fans to Chelsea Square.
Why is the city hosting these World Cup events?
The program is part of a broader state initiative. Chelsea is one of 25 Massachusetts communities that received funding from the Healey-Driscoll administration to organize watch parties and tournament-related activities.
The series transforms Chelsea Square into an outdoor cinema. The broadcasts, provided by official partner Telemundo, feature Spanish-language narration. The event sequence began on Thursday, June 11, with a live performance by the group Viva México.
What other community events are planned for July?
Chelsea will open a new Farmer’s Market in July located in front of City Hall. The market is scheduled to operate every Tuesday, provided the weather permits.
The city has stated that more details regarding the market will be released soon. Individuals interested in selling at the Farmer’s Market may contact the city at [email protected].
