Tuesday, November 4, 2025

Tickets are on sale now for the Kankakee Valley Park District Centennial Gala, and you won’t want to miss this extraordinary celebration of 100 years of parks, people, and progress. Join us on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the elegant Bill Spriggs Civic Auditorium for an unforgettable evening featuring live music by the Southside Social Club, a gourmet dinner catered by The Bennett-Curtis House, cocktails, raffle prizes, and a silent auction—all in support of the next century of community enrichment.

This isn’t just a celebration—it’s an opportunity to help shape the future of the Kankakee Valley Park District. Proceeds from the Gala will help provide 7,200 hours of summer camp free of charge to Kankakee residents in 2026, ensuring every child has the opportunity to make memories, explore the outdoors, and experience the joy of summer at KVPD.

Help us honor the past, celebrate the present, and build the next 100 years together. Tickets are $75 per person and on sale now at kvpd.com or by calling (815) 939-1311. Secure your spot today for this historic evening of community, celebration, and impact.
