No Weekend Plans? There’s Plenty to do!

The FIFA Women’s World Cup is this weekend, and the world’s only sports bar dedicated solely to women’s sports is having a watch party!

Listen here:

The pre-game celebration gets underway Saturday night at the Sports Bra on NE Broadway.   The game is being played in Australia, and because of the time difference, it’s on at 2 am here on the West Coast.   There’s a 5k walk/run at the Sports Bra at midnight leading up to the match.  There’s also free food, prizes, and games.
