This long-standing community tradition will return in 2022!
This 2nd Annual Event will be in the same fashion as Chocolate Walk with fall-themed treats given to event attendees at each Official Autumn Promenade Stop consisting of downtown Valpo restaurants and retailers.
Frightfully funny laughs are in store in this bright new version of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein - adapted just for kids to perform! Frankie and Irving are science nerds who have an unusual idea for the upcoming Science Fair! When Doctor Frankenstein's ancient secret book arrives from Transylvania, the friends are whisked into a sci-fi fantasy of time-warped, weirdly scary and lively adventure! Our Director of Education will be in contact prior to classes with an introductory email and mandatory parental consent and volunteer waivers that have to be filled out and brought to the first class. We can’t wait to see you all there!
Celebrate all things fall at the annual Fall Harvest Festival - pumpkin painting, apple cider, caramel apples, bounce houses, face painting, and more!
Fall Harvest Festival is held in conjunction with the last day of the Valparaiso Market.
