Karen Bass Plans ‘Massive’ FIFA World Cup Watch Parties in MacArthur Park

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is planning to hold ‘massive’ World Cup watch parties in homeless drug-addict haven MacArthur Park. She claims they will be a boost for “Latino-owned businesses hit by ICE raids.” Bass revealed the plan during a podcast appearance this week, saying MacArthur Park would serve as one of more than 100 community celebration sites during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “We’ll have a massive watch party in MacArthur Park,” Bass said while describing her vision for the tournament.
