The Pennsylvania Soccer Relay kicked off an electrifying show featuring Philadelphia Union mascot Phang, Philly Girls Jump, West Powelton Steppers & Drum Squad, and many other familiar Philly faces.
Activities at the Pennsylvania Pavilion also kept guests entertained, such as a prize wheel and a 'Soccer Jawn' video game.
Excitement near the main stage was presented by a group of performers, ambassadors, and creators known as the Visit PA Playmakers.
This was all leading up to a watch party for the big game happening just a few miles south of Lemon Hill: Croatia vs. Ghana.
Members of the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia's Youth Diplomats program joined to support and participate in a soccer relay race.
Philadelphia's FIFA Fan Festival continues each day until July 19.
Watch the video above to see all the excitement shake out for one of the few remaining World Cup matches in Philadelphia.
