Mt. Vernon Mayor Sawyn Patterson-Howard with members of the Westchester Soccer Club
At Memorial Field, we witnessed the largest sporting event in Westchester County history (over 5,000 in attendance) as Westchester Soccer Club faced off against New York City Football Club in an unforgettable match.
From the energy in the stands to the excitement on the field, this was more than a game—it was a moment for the entire community.
Thank you, Westchester, for showing up and showing out. With family-friendly activities, food trucks, vendors, music, games, merchandise, and more—this is just the beginning.
We are preparing for FIFA World Cup Viewing parties and pop up events.
We’ll see you again soon
