SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) \u2014 Scranton\u2019s FIFA Fan Fest returned to Courthouse Square this weekend as the World Cup watch party heads into its final matches.<\/p>\n
The city brought back the FIFA Fan Zone for Saturday\u2019s bronze medal match and Sunday\u2019s World Cup final, drawing friends and families downtown despite rocky weather earlier in the day. Attendees played games, grabbed food and took in the atmosphere while watching the tournament.<\/p>\n
The weekend also includes multiple musical acts, with Hanson scheduled as Saturday\u2019s main show. Courthouse square was packed with some fans travelling hours to see the band.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were glad that the rain cleared out,\u201d said Kara Karstetter, a Hanson fan and fan zone attendee.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe drove about two hours to get here, and we spent the night so I was hoping that the rain would hold off,\u201d Colleen Burfield said.<\/p>\n
