Join the Porter County Libertarian Party and our candidates as we march in the 2026 Valparaiso Popcorn Parade. You won’t want to miss this long-standing Valparaiso tradition, that all started with Orville Redenbacher in 1979, as it returns for its 47th year! After marching in the Popcorn Parade, explore 300+ vendors lining Downtown Valpo’s streets, Main Stage Music performances in Central Park Plaza, the Ultimate Poppin’ Play Zone, Beer Garden, and so much more for fun no matter what age! The theme this year is Poppin’ Through the Decades!
