World Cup Watch Parties Take Over El Segundo

Hello, Gundo 👋 

It’s the end of the school year (congratulations graduates!) and the beginning of America’s quadrennial love affair with soccer.

This week there are World Cup viewing parties all over town. And so much more, from the 49th annual Ragtime Festival at Old Town Music Hall to Dockweiler movie night.

Also, check out the limited time deals at Chipotle tonight and at Shake Shack all week. Plus Slice & Pint’s new free pizza offer for students all summer!

As always, if anything new pops up or changes, we’ll share it on the Hello Gundo Instagram.
