Global Grooves: Rhythms of the Game is a free, all-ages outdoor celebration inspired by the excitement, rhythm, and cultural pride surrounding the world’s love of fútbol.
Join us at Somerville City Hall on Saturday, July 11, from 12-4 PM (severe weather date: July 12) for an afternoon filled with music, movement, food, and community.
The event brings together global music traditions and soccer culture through live performances, percussion, dance, soccer juggling, interactive activities, and collaborations featuring artists from across cultures and genres. Guests can enjoy food, performances, and experiences that reflect the many vibrant communities that call Somerville home.
Timed alongside the excitement of the quarter finals happening in our region, Global Grooves creates a joyful space for residents and visitors to gather, celebrate diversity, and connect through shared cultural traditions, music, and play.
