From July 1 to 19, the space in front of the Pantheon in the Sea Garden will turn into a large-scale fan zone dedicated to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For 19 days, residents and guests of the city will be able to enjoy a unique festival atmosphere, combining sports, cinema, music, cuisine and attractions. The largest 32m Ferris wheel will arrive in the heart of the Sea Garden and will remain until the end of the summer.
The most interesting matches from the 2026 World Cup, as well as significant sporting events with Bulgarian participation, will be broadcast on a large LED screen with professional sound, and on days without football matches, visitors will have the opportunity to watch popular Bulgarian films under the open sky.
In addition to the sports program, the fan zone will offer various opportunities for recreation and entertainment. Visitors will be able to enjoy grilled specialties, fresh fish delicacies, a variety of street food, a cocktail bar with refreshing summer drinks, sweet temptations and comfortable seating areas amidst the greenery of the Sea Garden.
Throughout the period, the organizers have prepared an additional program with games, activities for the whole family and surprises that will turn every evening into a real summer holiday.
“We want to create a place where people can experience the strongest emotions of the World Cup together. Football is just the beginning – the fan zone will be a space for meetings, entertainment and shared summer evenings in the heart of Burgas,” share the organizers.
The event has free admission and is suitable for visitors of all ages.
