A Celebration of Women's Sports

What started as a simple idea — gathering a softball team to watch the Women's College World Series — has grown into a major community event celebrating women’s athletics! Wichita Park & Recreation invites you to A Celebration of Women’s Sports at Naftzger Park, a two-day festival featuring inspiring guest speakers, a live stream watch party of the Women’s College World Series, food trucks, vendor booths, and a softball skills clinic hosted by SpinTech Academy.

~Live Streaming: Watch the Women’s College World Series starting at 7 p.m. each evening.

Fundraiser Raffle:

This event is more than a watch party — it's a movement to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women in sports, inspired by a father's dream to set a new standard for how we support female athletes. Come celebrate with us and help us build something even bigger for the future!
