Every year, Porter
County Parks and Recreation celebrates the transition from the cold, harsh
Northwest Indiana winter to the beautiful spring and summer months with the
Spring Out to Sunset Festival.
This festival
brings together hundreds of region residents celebrating all the outdoor fun
that summer in the parks has to offer.
This year, the
festival will be held on Saturday, May 21, from 12 to 4 p.m., at Sunset Hill
Farm County Park, at Hwy. 6 and Meridian Rd., in Liberty Township.
The day will be
filled with family friendly activities such as a vintage baseball game (1
p.m.), inflatables, LaserBall NWI, pony rides, meet the animals, wagon
rides, archery, crafts, live music and much more.
The goal of the
event is to give region families a fun and affordable venue to get outside
and be active in one of Porter County’s beautiful parks.
The Second Annual
Spring Out Homebrew Competition will also be part of the festival. Entrants
have submitted their home made brews to be judged by a qualified panel of
judges during the festival. Winners will be announced.
Spring Out to
Sunset is possible due to support from several local partners and sponsors
including Thorgren Tool & Molding, NITCO, First State Bank of Porter, Figure
Eight Brewing, Brewhouse Supplies, Howe Farms, and more.
Cost for this event
is $5 per car.
