Valparaiso is the southeastern-most suburb of the Chicago metropolitan area, and is home to many worthwhile B\u0026B establishments. Valparaiso is home to the Popcorn Festival, held on the first Saturday after Labor Day. There is also the Porter County Fair, consisting of carnival attractions and variety of shows such as a demolition derby, motocross races, and live musical performances. If you are planning on attending one of these rustic community events and desire local accommodations, you should consider staying at a Valparaiso bed and breakfast or a Valparaiso inn. Valparaiso is very close to Lake Michigan and the Indiana dunes, which are open year-round and offer hiking, swimming, and camping. Valparaiso is home to the Taltree Arboretum and Gardens. The best new restaurant in Valparaiso is Restaurant La Concepcion, located in the heart of the historic district on Concepcion Cerro. Pasta e Vino virtually launched the culinary metamorphosis in Valparaiso, and it remains the best restaurant in this city. Less
