2026 Adel Sweetcorn Festival August 7 & 8
The Annual Sweet Corn Festival is Saturday, August 8th, 2026.
The Adel Sweet Corn Festival offers fun for the whole family.
The theme is “It Doesn’t Get Any Butter”.
Friday, Aug 7 – Shucking of the corn
Saturday Aug 8 – A fun-filled day packed with activities.
Adel has a lot planned for the Sweet Corn Festival: a 5K Run, Parade, Live Music, Kids’ Games, Bag tournament, Volleyball tournament, More Kids’ Activities, and, of course, Free Corn.
There are lots of Vendors—food, Crafts, Art, and Information.
Make plans to stay the entire day. There is something for everyone.
FREE Sweet Corn – While It Lasts!
After the parade, be sure to get in line for Adel’s famous Deardorff sweet corn. Each year, Adel Partners purchases approximately 15,000 ears of this delicious corn and gives it away for FREE at the festival. The cooking process for the corn is something to see as well. We know you will enjoy eating a few ears of corn as you visit the festival. Corn is generally gone by mid-afternoon, so plan to come early!
