2023 New York Sweet Corn Festivals
New York
Corn typically ripens from July to September in New York. July and August
dominate throughout most of the U.S.as the months for Corn production (and festivals)
.
There are two general types of Corn festivals 1) community festivals, usually organized by a church, school, local Chamber of commerce or a town and 2).
Corn festival held at and by a farm. They are different in what they
offer, and
community festivals tend to be less expensive so they are grouped separately.

Related Corn Information:
Freezing Corn
You can easily freeze the sweet corn and have that great taste in
the dead of winter!
Canning Corn
This too, is easy... but it DOES require a Pressure Canner.
You cannot safely do this with a water bath canner. Food
poisoning is no joke!
