This year, we celebrate 50 years of the North Ridgeville Corn Festival. There are so many memories! Many of us remember attending over these past five decades. We have something special for everyone this year, and we can't wait to see you!
We're thrilled to invite you to a weekend filled with family-friendly fun and free entertainment at our fantastic festival. Join us in celebrating community, culture, and, of course, corn! It's the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories.

Enjoy FREE admission, FREE kids' crafts, FREE live entertainment, and, new this year, our FREE drone show.

Once you step inside, the aroma of buttery corn reminds you to grab an ear as soon as possible. We have a fantastic lineup of live entertainment featuring talented musicians. Keep your eye on the sky-don't miss the dazzling drone show with 100 drones on Friday night, a first in Lorain County!

Saturday morning kicks off with our classic Car Show at Olde Towne Hall on Center Ridge Road. The show features vintage favorites and custom creations for enthusiasts of all ages.

Join us on Saturday afternoon for our exciting Corn Eating Contest. You'll cheer as participants race to see who can eat the most delicious corn the fastest. It's all good fun; everyone can join in or cheer for their favorites!

We'll conclude the festivities on Sunday afternoon with our exciting mile-long Grande Parade and the Trophy Awards ceremony at the Gazebo. It's a fantastic way to celebrate all the incredible talent and effort showcased throughout the weekend.
