📍 About the venue
- Hosted at TapNPaddles, a 12‑court indoor pickleball facility with a bar and restaurant, so it’s set up for both play and socializing. This is THE BEST pickleball facility in Wichita and, dare I say, the entire state of Kansas.
Bottom line: Friday Night Fiesta is basically “pickleball + social night out”—structured games, prizes, and a party vibe all in one. It’s one of the more fun, community-driven events at TapNPaddles rather than a serious tournament. Join us every Friday at Tap by registering through their Court Reserve app.
