Downtown Arlington Welcomes the "Visit Jordan Experience" June 25-27
The Jordan Tourism Board will bring the Visit Jordan Experience to Downtown Arlington June 25–27. Hosted at Levitt Pavilion Arlington, the free three-day festival celebrates Jordan’s historic first appearance on soccer’s biggest stage while inviting visitors to experience the country’s culture, cuisine and hospitality through free public match viewings, live entertainment and immersive cultural experiences.

Open to all, the festival will feature public viewings of nine international soccer matches over three days as well as cultural performances, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, shopping, family activities and immersive experiences designed to showcase Jordan’s culture and heritage. Fans can enjoy watch parties throughout the three-day festival, including the featured match on June 27 as Jordan takes on Argentina.
More Than a Watch Party
More than a watch party, the Visit Jordan Experience offers visitors a chance to explore Jordan throughout the three-day festival. Guests can browse a Jordanian-inspired marketplace featuring handmade arts and crafts, jewelry, traditional clothing, spices, tea and coffee while enjoying live performances, family-friendly activities and interactive exhibits celebrating Jordanian heritage.
Visitors can also take a virtual journey through some of Jordan's most breathtaking destinations, including Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea. Guests can sample authentic Middle Eastern favorites such as shawarma, falafel, hummus, kebabs, flatbreads and traditional sweets, explore travel opportunities and enjoy chances to win round-trip airfare to Jordan.
