Ah, summer. You have to love it. Not only is it simply a great opportunity to spend time outdoors with our loved ones, go on adventures, look great, and all-around relax, but it’s also the time of the year when there are plenty of events and activities taking place.
Take a look at what’s happening in your local area, and you’ll find plenty of small-scale events that can keep you and your family entertained. And if you like your events a little grander, a little more prestigious, and a little more international, then you’re also in luck. There are plenty of amazing sporting events taking place this year. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest that are worth your attention.
Wimbledon
Of all the tennis majors, Wimbledon stands out from the crowd. There’s just something about this all-lawn tennis event that inspires such drama. Win Wimbledon, and you’re writing yourself into the history books. Last year’s winner Carlos Alcaraz will be back, hoping to become the new version of Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal, all of whom dominated the scene over the past twenty years. The event will take place from July 1 through July 14 in, as always, London. If you happen to be in London at the time but can’t get tickets to a match, it’s still worthwhile heading over to the venue, since there are large fan parks that always have a great atmosphere.
Euro 2024
There’s much to love about Euro 2024, which sees the best national teams in Europe go head to head. The tournament has already proven to be a hit, with controversies, great performances, and surprise packages making it one of the best tournaments in years. And there’s plenty more to come. Learn where to watch Euro 2024 in USA, pick a team to root for (we’d recommend Georgia, who are making their first appearance at an international tournament), and enjoy the action. We promise that there’ll be some incredible matches on display. If you only plan to watch one game, then make it the final, which will take place on July 14.
The Olympics
There are plenty of great global sports events, but when it comes to the best of the best, there’s nothing bigger than The Olympics. This is where legends are made. This year’s event will take place in Paris from July 26 through August 11. You can expect all your favorite events to be taking place, including the much-viewed 100-meter race. There’ll also be four new events this year, including skateboarding and breakdancing. We know it’s probably difficult to swing financially, but if you can head to Paris during the Olympics, you’ll have a memorable time. Paris is fun in the summer anyway, but when the Olympics are in town? That’s a whole other level of awesomeness.
Tour De France
Even non-cycling fans can find enjoyment in the Tour de France. After all, what’s not to love about an extreme athletic event that sweeps through Europe’s most majestic landscapes? Plus, there’s always drama. This year’s event will take place from June 29 through July 12. Normally, the race ends in Paris, but this year — probably because of the Olympics — it’ll end in Nice, which is a much more affordable destination to visit.
US Open
And now for something closer to home: the US Open, which is the final grand slam tennis event of the year. It’ll be taking place in Queens, New York, from August 26 through September 8. This is always a star-studded event, so if you make a trip, don’t be surprised if you see some A-list celebrities.
Copa America
Finally, there’s Copa America, which is taking place right now. Held in the United States, it’s the American version of the Euro 2024 Championship. As it stands, world champions Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, are favorites to win the title, though they’ll have to overcome stiff competition from rivals Brazil in order to do so. The final will take place on July 14 in Miami and promises to be a raucous occasion.
Conclusion
And there we have it! As we’ve seen, there are plenty of large-scale summer events taking place this year. But also, remember that while these attractions will gather most of the attention, there will also be plenty of other events taking place, too. Since it’s unlikely that you can attend one of the major international sports events outlined above, why not consider going to a different type of event? There’s much fun to be had from going to a baseball game, for instance.
