Save the dates for August 9–10, 2025, and join us at Jerry Smith Farm for one of Southeast Wisconsin’s most beloved summer traditions—Sweet Corn Fest. As we celebrate 50 years on the farm, this milestone event promises more homegrown sweet corn, live entertainment, and family-friendly fun than ever before.

Located centrally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, between Milwaukee and Chicago, Jerry Smith Farm invites families, food lovers, and fun seekers to enjoy two full days of live music, artisan vendors, and the freshest sweet corn you’ll find anywhere grown right at Jerry Smith Farm—all with free admission.

This year’s Sweet Corn Fest is especially meaningful as it takes place during Jerry Smith Farm’s 50th year of welcoming families to the countryside. What began as a small roadside produce stand in 1975 has grown into one of the region’s most beloved seasonal destinations.

“There’s nothing better than seeing generations of families enjoying our farm, just like we dreamed when we started this,” said Joe Smith, second-generation owner of Jerry Smith Farm, alongside his wife Amy. “Our Sweet Corn Fest brings the whole community together to enjoy our homegrown sweet corn—and that’s what this place has always been about.”
