Come on out to the 2025 Barker Corn Festival . A foot race over a certified 5K course, farmer’s market and vendor fair, corn roast, and live music under the stars will be among the features at this year’s Corn Festival - hosted by community members and sponsored by many homegrown companies. This local Corn Festival was initially created to celebrate our local farmers and summer prosperity. We will continue this tradition, celebrating the region, from local artisans and corn harvested at our own Harris Farms, to bike night highlighting local brews, grub and live music. And don't forget the fireworks at 10pm!
