Corn Fest at Valleyfair

August 19 – September 3 and Labor Day

August 14, 2023

End your summer with a cornucopia of delicious tastes at Valleyfair’s Corn Fest running weekends

August 19 – September 3 and Labor Day. This all-new food festival offers a bushel of sweet and savory

takes on our favorite crop and a slew of fun and activities.


Mayor Shucks and the Corn Fest Committee are ready to show off all the a-maize-ing corn dishes and

fun they’ve planned for you. The summer festival committee has developed an extensive menu of eats

and drinks, all centered around corn. Local bands deliver authentic sounds of the region in the

beautifully decorated town square. Learn how to line dance right here at Corn Fest with guidance of our

energetic and over-the-top townspeople. Watch out for flying corn kernels as hungry guests compete in

a corn-eating contest.


What makes Corn Fest the area’s best late-summer activity is that it’s a homespun food celebration

nestled within the Twin Cities’ premier amusement park. Before or after experiencing the quaint

goodness of our sweet corn festival, guests can scream at the top of their lungs on their favorite thrill

rides or enjoy splish-splashing fun at Soak City. Save on tickets at Valleyfair.com.
