Is Jarvis Cornfest a pet-friendly event?
While we would never turn pets away, we encourage pet parents to leave them at home to keep them safe from the heat, noise, and crowds. We want to ensure the best experience for everyone, including our furry friends!
What happens if it rains? (Is there a rain date?)
Jarvis Cornfest is rain or shine! We’re ready to celebrate no matter the weather, so come prepared for any conditions.
Can I bring my own lawn chairs or blankets?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own lawn chairs and blankets! While tables are available, they can fill up quickly during busy times, so we encourage bringing your own seating to ensure a comfortable spot.
Is Jarvis Cornfest a cash-only event, or do vendors accept cards?
The craft beverage area accepts both cash and debit cards. While it’s up to each food and craft vendor, many do accept both cash and debit/credit cards. We recommend bringing a mix of payment options just in case!
Who organizes Jarvis Cornfest?
Jarvis Cornfest is organized by a dedicated committee of volunteers made up of community members.
While there’s a common misconception that the Jarvis Lions run the event, it’s actually a collaborative effort.
We’re proud to have the support of the Jarvis Board of Trade, local businesses, and service clubs, all working together to bring this festival to life.
