AMERICON | Valparaiso, IN

CELEBRATE THE AMERICAN SPIRIT!

Join us on July 11th for AMERICON—a full day of homegrown fun bringing the neighborhood together in celebration of U.S. culture and our Midwest roots. Inspired by county fairs, small-town traditions, roadside stops, and classic summer celebrations, AmeriCon transforms the grounds into a lively fest of vendors, food stands, live music, and all-ages fun. It’s a day built for wandering, gathering, eating well, and settling into the kind of simple summer moments that feel familiar the second you arrive.

FREE, NO COVER | ALL AGES
