We are so excited to host Brokerworks Group tonight for some fun in Central Park Plaza!!

What if downtown Valpo turned into a full-blown ballpark for one night?

That’s exactly what’s happening at Central Park Plaza.

We’re bringing BANANAWORKS Park Takeover Night to Valparaiso for an evening packed with games, food, music, and nonstop family fun right in the heart of downtown.

Think wiffleball every 30 minutes, kids racing around the bases, a dad home run derby, ballpark classics, and activities for all ages. It’s the kind of night where you show up for “a little while” and end up staying for everything.

📍 Central Park Plaza, Valparaiso, IN
📅 Thursday, May 28, 2026
⏰ 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
