Get Ready For Valleyfair’s Corn Fest This August

Valleyfair Amusement Park in Shakopee is hosting a "Corn Fest"  every weekend from August 16th to September 1st, 2025.

Corn on the cob is just one of the dozen specialty menu items, centering around corn, that will be available on these weekends.

FROM LAST YEAR'S ANNOUNCEMENT: 

End your summer with a cornucopia of delicious tastes at Valleyfair’s Corn Fest. This all-new food festival offers a bushel of sweet and savory takes on our favorite crop and a slew of fun and activities.

 

Mayor Shucks and the Corn Fest Committee are ready to show off all the a-maize-ing corn dishes and fun they’ve planned for you. The summer festival committee has developed an extensive menu of eats and drinks, all centered around corn. Local bands deliver authentic sounds of the region in the beautifully decorated town square.

 

What makes Corn Fest the area’s best late-summer activity is that it’s a homespun food celebration nestled within the Twin Cities’ premier amusement park. Before or after experiencing the quaint goodness of our sweet corn festival, guests can scream at the top of their lungs on their favorite thrill rides or enjoy splish-splashing fun at Soak City.

 

In addition to the unique food and beverage options, past Corn Fests at Valleyfair have also featured corn-themed crafts, face painting and games like corn chucking and corn hole.
