Valparaiso Popcorn Festival
Central Park Plaza, Valparaiso, IN
Valparaiso's downtown festival has honored native son Orville Redenbacher since 1979, drawing hundreds of arts, crafts and food vendors along Lincolnway. The 2026 edition, its 47th, filled Central Park Plaza on September 12 with a popcorn-themed parade, live music and the Popcorn Panic races. It is held every year on the Saturday after Labor Day.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
