Between Matches: Arts and Culture Guide

As the world arrives in Dallas for FIFA World Cup 2026™, we invite visitors to experience something beyond the matches. This is a chance to experience the city through its neighborhoods, its artists, its music, its food and the communities that shape its identity every day.

Across Dallas, sidewalks become stages and neighborhoods come alive with sound, color, movement and conversation. Wander from intimate jazz sets and late-night poetry readings to open-air dance performances, artist markets, film screenings beneath the skyline, museum exhibitions and street festivals that spill into the night. Some experiences are ticketed, others are completely free, but all are designed to invite people into the creative rhythm of Dallas — to taste it, hear it, dance within it and discover the stories woven throughout the city’s neighborhoods and the people who shape them.

One of the signature experiences visitors will encounter beyond the matches is the internationally celebrated RedBall Project, a largescale public art installation traveling across Dallas from June 19 - June 28 at 10 locations during the tournament. Appearing throughout the Dallas Arts District, Downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts and beyond, the installation will create moments of surprise, play and interaction while encouraging visitors to explore the city through its public spaces and neighborhoods.

Visitors will also experience the distinct character of Dallas’ creative districts throughout the tournament. In the Dallas Arts District, the largest contiguous arts district in the United States, two free block parties will transform streets, parks and public spaces surrounding its world-class museums and performance venues with music, theater, dance, visual art and community celebrations. At the Dallas Zoo and neighboring Halperin Park, illuminated nighttime installations, performances and family-friendly cultural programming will extend the energy of the city from day into night. Meanwhile, Deep Ellum and Oak Cliff will showcase Dallas’ deeply rooted literary, music and neighborhood culture through spoken word performances, galleries, artist markets, live music, murals, car clubs, food and community-driven celebrations, including Copa de Cliff across Bishop Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard.

While this calendar offers a meaningful glimpse into Dallas during FIFA World Cup 2026™, it represents only a sampling of the creativity and culture that define the city yearround. No single guide could fully capture the depth of artistry, cultural traditions, independent spaces, musicians, makers, chefs, performers and communities that shape Dallas every day.

Because while the world may come for the matches, the culture is what makes people stay.
