Central Park Plaza Concerts

Best place to spend time with kids. Music and skating in winter.

We were told by multiple local businesses to come here to use the public restrooms. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, on a Wednesday, and they were all locked up. And, this is even with checking two different facilities on two different blocks(one at the amphitheater stage and one at the iceskating rink). This is absolutely unacceptable for a bustling downtown area with so much foot traffic! Incredibly inconvenient and disappointing. Valparaiso needs to remedy this!!!

So I went here for the Corn festival..$15 in advance per person..This includes 1 brat, bag of chips, bottle water or soda and watch 2 bands and all u can eat corn in the cob..Now I only did this as the Kiwanis is a good organization.Everyone that is part of that organization was very friendly and welcoming. Overall it was a cool night to get out and explore downtown..The band was nothing that even caught my attention.. The vendor selling elephant ears should not be allowed to false advertise like that..They were deep frying pita bread and calling it elephant ears..No joke..It was advertised there was a beer garden..That's not what that was..It was a beer truck with a few beers on tap..Because there was only 1 the line was out of control.Waaaaay long.. I would attend again ONLY because the proceeds are for a good cause...

Many events are centered here through out the year. Weekends in the Summer are especially fun. During the quiet hours of the work day, it becomes a lunch spot, fresh air and a place for kids. The Splash Pad on a hot day is always inviting.

Had a great time. Enjoyed all the Christmas lights, does put you in a holiday mood. Plenty of dine in around the area . Best part a walking distance.
