About this Event
Corn Fest will be celebrating its 50th year in Downtown DeKalb, IL across more than 12 square blocks and we're going big! POP 2000 Tour is headlining Saturday night, August 29!
That means we will bring you right back to the early 2000s featuring on stage Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, O-Town, RyanCabrera and LFO.
Just 45 minutes from the west suburbs, come and see for yourself. Who says #Throwbacks are reserved for Thursdays? There is a $10 admission fee into the sound stage area each day where beer and other drinks are sold. (Children 10 and under are free with a supervising parent or guardian at least 21.) Get your tickets now! FULL FEST DETAILS @ www.cornfest.com
