Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival celebrates one of the best treats of summer in Wisconsin where it is eaten right off the cob. Sweet corn arrives at the peak of the season, and it’s perfectly delicious. Add a little bit of butter, salt, and pepper to your taste — and bite into a bit of heaven. It’s a tradition worth celebrating, and the community of Sun Prairie does just that in a very large way. The celebration of this delicious vegetable draws thousands to the town every year at Angell Park on Wednesday, Aug. 14, through Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. Here’s what you need to know about one of the best summer festivals in Wisconsin.
It was founded back in 1953 and it has been growing robust since.
It includes five days of fun and it’s a must-attend festival in south central Wisconsin.
When you attend, you’ll know why.
It’s perfectly steamed so it’s tender and delicious. Steamed corn is only sold on Saturday and Sunday while supplies last.
But, there’s a lot more to this festival than cobs.
The parade lineup is at Central Heights Middle School (220 Kroncke Drive). The official route starts at Interior by JW on Main Street and finishes at the Market and Linnerud.
The festival gains steam on the weekend when the corn is served, which includes a carnival, food and product vendors, a kiddie corner, a family entertainment stage, live bands, a beer tent, and more.
This story is making me hungry for some sweet corn. Can’t wait to see you at the sweetest corn festival in Wisconsin!
