NFL to Host Annual Play Football Family Festival

The NFL will host its annual Play Football Family Festival in San Jose, California at MacDonald High School on Saturday, Feb. 7 – a free, interactive football experience for the entire family.

Held in the heart of Super Bowl weekend, the NFL Play Football Family Festival brings to life the excitement of the game through an interactive experience for youth and high school football communities, fans and coaches. Everything at the event is football-focused, where local youth can meet current NFL players and Legends, learn skills and drills, try on equipment with Riddell, and experience football in a way they never have before.

“The Play Football Family Festival is a free event offered to communities in and around the Super Bowl host city,” said Roman Oben, NFL vice president of football development. “This year marks our ninth year presenting the event, and over that time it has become a meaningful tradition that has positively impacted thousands of families across Super Bowl communities nationwide. The festival will give San Jose area families the opportunity to experience the excitement of Super Bowl week while engaging directly with the game of football in a fun, inclusive environment.”

The free event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. PT. Local youth and families will be able to interact with the San Francisco 49ers, Super Bowl team cheerleaders and mascots, and obstacle courses, food trucks, giveaways and more.
