After an eventful season, Super Bowl 2023 is finally just around the corner. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will play for the Lombardi Trophy and fans are excited to see Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes face off.
Of course, one has to relax before enjoying the epic showdown.
The Super Bowl is scheduled to take place on February 12, at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Before the main event, there seems to be an epic lineup of events or parties one can attend. Though some might be general, a few of them are hosted or attended by popular celebrities.

Now, while some parties are held alongside the game, some are held a day or two before the game. Usually headlined with a main attraction, the parties are only meant to amp up the fun leading up to the Super Bowl. Of course, the game itself includes a pre-show and a stellar halftime show, usually amongst the main events of the day.
This year, a couple of celebrities will be coming back with equally engaging parties, mostly near the venue or generally somewhere in Arizona.
