2024 Sweet Corn Festivals
Indiana
Corn typically ripens from July to late August in Indiana. 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.
(of course not all states and areas have both.)

festival listings are links to our easy to follow directions about
making freezing corn, canning corn
much more.

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!
