The excitement of FIFA World Cup 26™ is coming to Downtown Arlington—and everyone's invited.

The Jordan Tourism Board will celebrate the nation's historic first-ever qualification by bringing The Visit Jordan Experience to the Levitt Pavilion June 25-27, 2026. Open to everyone, the free three-day festival features FIFA World Cup 26™ public viewing events, live entertainment, authentic Jordanian cuisine, a vibrant street bazaar, family activities and immersive tourism experiences that bring the sights, sounds and hospitality of Jordan to the heart of Downtown Arlington. The celebration culminates Saturday night with a public watch party for the historic Jordan vs. Argentina match.

"We are excited to partner with Levitt Pavilion Arlington to bring the Visit Jordan Experience to North Texas and celebrate Jordan's historic qualification for the FIFA World Cup 26," said Ramzi Maaytah, general manager of the Jordan Tourism Board. "This festival offers a unique opportunity for communities to come together, enjoy world-class soccer and immerse themselves in Jordan's rich culture, breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality. We look forward to sharing Jordan's vibrant heritage and inspiring travel experiences with visitors from across Texas and beyond, showcasing why Jordan is truly a destination like no other."

Between matches, visitors can embark on a virtual journey through Jordan on a massive LED display, shop a vibrant Jordanian-inspired street bazaar filled with handmade arts and crafts, jewelry, traditional clothing, spices, tea, coffee and other cultural goods, sample authentic Jordanian and Middle Eastern cuisine, and register daily for a chance to win round-trip airfare to Jordan.

"We're thrilled to help bring this unique cultural experience to Arlington and provide a gathering place where people can celebrate the excitement of the FIFA World Cup while learning more about Jordan's culture, hospitality and traditions," said Letatia Teykl, president and CEO of Levitt Pavilion Arlington. "The Levitt has always been about bringing people together through shared experiences, and we're honored to help celebrate this historic milestone for Jordan while welcoming visitors from across Texas and beyond to our city."

Arlington Mayor Jim Ross said the event adds another exciting dimension to the city's role as a FIFA World Cup 26™ host city while inviting visitors to experience everything Downtown Arlington has to offer.

"We're excited to share in Jordan's pride as the nation celebrates its first-ever qualification and to welcome visitors from near and far to this unique cultural celebration," Ross said. "We hope guests will enjoy our beautiful Levitt Pavilion in Founders Plaza and take time to explore downtown Arlington's dining, shopping and entertainment offerings while experiencing the welcoming spirit of our city."
