PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- As all eyes are on Philadelphia during the World Cup, FIFA Fan Fest is setting the stage for some local creatives.

"One of the many cool things about Fan Fest is that it has something for everyone. Our city is on the global stage and we couldn't be more happy to be in that space and welcome people from around the world," said Jonathan Todd, Director of Social Impact for Philadelphia Soccer 2026.

Various artists and groups from the area will get their chance to be seen by international audiences throughout the coming weeks.

"For a once-in-a-generation experience like the World Cup being in Philadelphia, it's also a once-in-a-generation opportunity for these artists to perform for people from...all the way across the globe," said Todd.

One of the groups featured is known as "Columbia Mi Corazón Es Tuyo."



"We miss our country. And it's connecting with our roots... important for us to remember who we are, that we also belong here, to represent our culture here in Philadelphia and surrounding areas," said Lili Daliesso of Columbia Mi Corazón Es Tuyo.
