“Join us for a celebration of agriculture, community, and the golden goodness of Zellwood sweet corn at the Mount Dora Corn Festival! Embracing our rich agricultural heritage, we invite you to indulge in a day filled with corn-themed delights, family fun, and fantastic entertainment,” event organizers wrote online.

Here are the festival hours:

  • Friday: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Saturday: 3 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

There will also be fun for children with hayrides, an inflatable corn maze, and a petting zoo (Saturday only). Don’t miss out on the corn-eating contests either.

What better way to end Saturday night than with a fireworks show over Lake Dora. Don’t miss it at 9:15 p.m.!

Even better? With every paid admission, you get to take home two ears of Zellwood sweet corn!

Parking is available in downtown and a free shuttle will be offered on Saturday at First Baptist Church of Mount Dora.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $9 for children 4-9, and free for children 3 and under.
