This weekend marks the unofficial end of summer and swing back into school season in DeKalb County with Corn Fest.
2026 marks the 49th edition of the city of DeKalb’s tradition. As always, there will be free sweet corn and a carnival, plus plenty of arts and crafts for families, and a chance for downtown businesses to showcase themselves to the community and incoming students from Northern Illinois University.
The music lineup this year will feature hitmakers from the late 1990’s and early 2000’s to entertain, as well as indulge nostalgia for many festival goers.
Sara Myers of OC Creative discusses all this and more in this conversation on Corn Fest.
