Frequently asked questions
Yes, please do! All seats are on the lawn. Bring chairs or blankets.
You can, but we do not suggest it. The crowd is usually pretty packed, the music loud, and your pup won't enjoy it.
All sales are final. Your purchase is a donation to the Kiwanis Club of Valparaiso, and we appreciate your support! You may though, give your ticket to a friend and let them attend.
Of course! Kiwanis is a service organization focused on helping children. We encourage you to bring your entire family! We try to maintain an event that everyone will enjoy.
We hate when that happens! Valpo Kiwanis welcomes rain on every day of the year except Valpo Corn Roast Fest. Unfortunately, even if it rains, we must cover the expenses of the event. All ticket sales are final and as long as the bands will play, the show goes on. No refunds given. Rain or shine.
YES! Children elementary age and younger are free! No ticket required. Of course, we hope you attend with them! Mom and Dad must purchase ticket to attend with their child!
Your ticket purchase gets you AYCE of the best roasted sweet corn in Indiana! Your ticket purchase gets you a lawn seat to excellent musicians and entertainment for the night. Your ticket gets you the good vibes of supporting your local Kiwanis Club and all the great things they do!
Nope! After presenting lawful ID justifying your legal purchase, you may return to your seats with your drink and enjoy the show! Your purchase is another donation to Kiwanis! So drink up wisely and of course have someone else drive you home.
Nope. Due to hosting our own adult beverage sales, our insurance prohibits outside drinks. We are responsible for not over-serving. Please no coolers or outside beverages.
