Millburn–Short Hills Brings Global Energy to Celebrate the World Cup
The global excitement of the World Cup is coming to the streets of Millburn.
The World Cup Celebration Series is a dynamic, multi-week initiative designed to transform the district into a premier destination for soccer fans, families, and shoppers alike.
Breaking away from the traditional “at-home” viewing experience, the series invites residents and visitors to celebrate the tournament together through interactive events, themed dining, and coordinated retail promotions. The energy builds throughout the “season,” culminating in a massive community viewing party for the Final Match.
This community-wide celebration encourages fans to explore, shop and dine while engaging with the tournament in new ways.
Series Highlights Include:
- Online World Cup Retail & Restaurant Guide: A curated digital resource highlighting the best spots in town to watch the games. The guide features participating businesses offering World Cup-themed specials, limited-time retail sales, and unique dining offers.
- World Cup Skills Day (June 20, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM): A high-energy, youth-focused soccer activation designed to inspire the next generation of players. Families are invited to Taylor Park for hands-on skills-building activities and fitness in a fun, inclusive introduction to the global game.
- World Cup Mailbox Raffle: Throughout the series, shoppers can enter their receipts from local businesses into a special raffle for a chance to win gift cards to their favorite downtown spots.
- World Cup Final Viewing Party (July 19, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM): The grand finale of the series. The community will gather to watch the final match on a massive LED screen at Taylor Park, complemented by live music, local food vendors, and kids’ entertainment.
