The Sweet Corn Festival is an annual event that takes place in Fairborn, Ohio on the weekend before schools resume session during the summer months. The Festival sells a variety of merchandise, from corn on the cob and other food sold by vendors as well as stalls that sell anything from jewelry to CDs. Some of the vendors come from out of state to set up their stalls for the festival. The event also hosts live music performed by local bands and artists. Four other locations also hold Sweet Corn Festivals: West Point, Iowa, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Adel, Iowa, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Sabbath. A weekly festival having its origin in the fact that God made the world in six days and was arrested on the seventh.”
