South Florida is already deep in World Cup fever, but Brazil supporters now have a chance to celebrate alongside one of the sport's biggest icons.
Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho is slated to make a special appearance at Queen Miami Beach on Wednesday, June 24, following the highly anticipated Scotland vs. Brazil World Cup matchup.
The festivities begin long before the final whistle. Queen Miami Beach, housed inside the historic Paris Theater, will transform into a soccer-centric destination beginning at 5 p.m. with a watch party featuring large-screen projections, match coverage throughout the venue and a Brazilian soundtrack courtesy of Miami-based DJ and producer Ramonis Campelo.
Once the match wraps, the spotlight shifts to Ronaldinho.
Starting at 9:30 p.m., the former FIFA World Player of the Year will host a post-game dinner celebration where fans can expect appearances, jersey signings and opportunities to interact with one of Brazil's most beloved athletes. For traveling supporters and South Florida residents alike, it's a rare chance to spend an evening with a player who helped lead Brazil to a World Cup title and became one of the game's most recognizable figures.
The evening also includes samba performers, aerial acts set to FIFA-inspired music and specialty offerings such as The Chasing Gold cocktail made with Don Julio Reposado and The Sweet Glory dessert, a chocolate raspberry and pistachio soufflé tart.
Additional World Cup watch parties are also scheduled at the venue, including Colombia vs. Portugal on June 27 and a potential Argentina matchup on July 3 depending on tournament standings.
