The LEC Summer Finals will not stay locked inside an arena. On September 19 and 20, the Jardin Albert 1er, in the heart of Nice, hosts the LEC XPO — a free, open-air community festival built around the title deciders, with booths, fan art, meet and greets and a public watch party by the sea.

The XPO opens at 11 AM both days, closing at 7 PM on Saturday and 6 PM on Sunday. And when the matches start at 4 PM, the party does not stop: the Théâtre de Verdure, inside the gardens, becomes a free watch party where fans can follow the finalists' battles together in the open air.

What to do there

The visit starts with a quest book to stamp at every activity, unlocking an exclusive reward for completionists — with a Secretlab chair and even a Kia car among the giveaways scattered across the weekend.

Art takes center stage. The Artist Alley gathers fan artists from all over EMEA, with original LEC artwork available to buy, live speed drawing and an "artist selfie machine," while the LEC Fan Alley pushes the generosity further: more than 40 fan artists have contributed over 20,000 freebies, from stickers and prints to keychains.

Partner booths fill the gardens — a speed challenge and slushies at Kia's, arcade machines and collectible pins at KitKat's, a Movember barber shop, and a Red Bull zone complete with personalised player cards, a Baron-smiting mini-game and a DJ set. , and will run their own team booths, and a TFT corner offers a first look at Enchanted Wilds, the game's 18th set.
