Shippensburg Corn Festival
Saturday, August 27 2011, 8:00am - 5:00pm

The downtown main streets are closed to vehicular traffic and transformed into a huge street fair, rated the best one-day festival in Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania Festivals Association, for the day. Crafts, an antique car show, food booths, entertainment, and children's activities offer something for everyone. There are more than 300 crafts and antique vendors, selected by jury. Food booths feature corn in every available form. Entertainers perform all day at three sites throughout the festival and there are a variety of strolling acts and demonstrations. All events at the Festival are free, so bring the family for a day of fun, arts and crafts.


Our own Field and Pine Bed and Breakfast is just minutes away from the corn festival.
