The World Cup kicks off this weekend and is taking over the city with promotions. But if football (soccer?) isn’t your thing, there’s still many other things going on.

Here’s what’s happening this weekend in Shenzhen:

June 12th - World Cup KICKOFF @ O!Garden – Enjoy the beginning of the World Cup high above Coco Park at O! Garden.

June 12th - Raps Open Mic Night – One of the liveliest open mics in town that runs late into the night. Great for blowing off some steam.

June 12th – World Cup at the Warehouse on Shenzhen’s Largest Screen - Arguably the best, most authentic New York style pizza, discounted beer, and 300″ projection streaming of the World Cup. Seems like the best choice to me.
