Portage, IN — The Portage Township YMCA is inviting families across the community to attend its annual Family Formal on April 24, 2026 in the Gymnasium at the Portage Township YMCA from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM; an evening dedicated to connection, celebration, and creating lifelong memories for parents and children alike.
The Family Formal is a unique, all-inclusive experience featuring dinner, DJ-led dancing, glow accessories, photo opportunities, and the YMCA’s signature balloon drop finale — a favorite tradition for families each year. Designed to provide a safe, welcoming, and fun environment, the event encourages families to spend quality time together while celebrating community.
“This event is all about strengthening family bonds and creating memories that last long after the music ends,” said Amber Jones, Event Chair and Youth Development Coordinator for the Portage Township YMCA. “We love seeing families dress up, laugh together, and truly enjoy quality time with one another. The Family Formal reflects everything the YMCA stands for — community, connection, and supporting families in meaningful ways.”
The YMCA Family Formal is affordably priced to ensure accessibility for local families, with special ticket opportunities available for those enrolled in the YMCA’s Active Learning Preschool Academy. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged.
Tickets go on sale, Monday, February 16, 2026. For event details and registration, families can visit the Portage Township YMCA’s online program registration page at ymcaofportage.org/familyformal
