OUR STORY
Celebrating our 76th year in 2025, Corn Festival is the cornerstone event in Grundy County. A county wide celebration - Corn Festival makes its home in the county seat of Morris with an emphasis on events downtown. The festival is a homecoming of sorts and takes place September 24-28, 2025. The event celebrates the rich agricultural history in Grundy County and offers everything from a farm fair, craft shows, carnival, music and food, food, food. The town is decorated beautifully to celebrate the fall harvest and everyone joins in the spirit by dressing in their best jeans and flannels. On Sunday afternoon, enjoy one of the state's best and largest parades featuring floats, bands, equestrian units, Shriners, and so much more. Corn Festival - once you've been to it - you'll always want to come back.
