A few months ago, we shared the news that Urbana’s Sweetcorn Festival would be cancelled this year. That’s changed.
Instead, it will be a drive-thru festival in the Lincoln Square Mall parking lot on Friday, August 21st from 2 to 7 p.m. In this drive-thru, you’ll be able to purchase corn and festival merch (including a tote bag and a mask). A $5 donation is requested.
Here is some info from the Facebook event page:
