What is Picklepalooza?

Picklepalooza is a new community festival celebrating the love for all things
Pickleball. To commemorate national Pickleball month the festival will be held April
18 – April 25, 2020 with most events held at the exciting new venue Chicken N’
Pickle. All proceeds benefit the programs of Senior Services of Wichita.
Senior Services introduced Wichita, Kansas to the game of Pickleball 30 years
ago. Today the Pickleball craze has taken the city by storm and is the fastest
growing sport in the nation. No matter what age, it seems like everyone is playing
Pickleball these days. Whether you are a master, recreational or beginner player, or
new to the game, please join us for Picklepalooza 2020.
