Kansas City Current hosts Riverfront Watch Party at CPKC Stadium grounds

KANSAS CITY (September 18, 2024) — The Kansas City Current invite fans to Current Fest, a new gameday experience taking place on Saturday, September 28th at the CPKC Stadium site. The family-friendly event will take place before and throughout Current’s game against NJ/NY Gotham FC, which is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. CT.

The current festival takes place at two locations outside of CPKC Stadium. The Gold Lot and North Side Viewing Area will both feature large screen televisions so fans can watch the game while enjoying the amenities of this unique game day experience.

Gates to Current Fest will open two hours before kickoff at 10 a.m. CT and the event will end half an hour after the final whistle. Tickets are $5 for all participants, and children under 10 are admitted free. Tickets for next Saturday’s event can be purchased here.

“We are thrilled to welcome fans to a new KC Current gameday experience, our first-ever Current Fest at the CPKC Stadium site,” said Jocelyn Monroe, Kansas City’s current vice president and director of marketing. “Current Fest offers fans a unique, family-friendly opportunity to experience what makes CPKC Stadium the best environment in the NWSL.”

The current festival allows attendees a stadium-like experience on the banks of the Missouri River. Two large-screen televisions outside the stadium will broadcast Current’s game against Gotham FC, and Current Fest attendees will be able to experience the game in real time as the televisions will be synchronized with CPKC Stadium’s in-house Jumbotron.

Food and drinks can be purchased at various food trucks and beverage carts as part of Current Fest. The Gold Lot is the designated food and beverage area. Current Fest will also feature KC Current merchandise kiosks, plenty of photo opportunities and inflatable games. Additionally, Current Fest attendees will have access to all of the fun pre-game activities at CPKC Plaza before Current and Gotham FC kick off.
