Jarvis Cornfest is bringing a mix of new attractions and old favourites to the community for another weekend of family fun.
Held at the Jarvis Lions Community Ballpark at Highways 3 and 6, the festival features live music, fireworks, bingo, a car show, local beverages and a revamped kids zone.
Festival Chair Sam Armstrong said Cornfest is about more than the activities.
One of this year’s biggest additions is line dancing with Urban Cowboy Line Dancing on Friday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or at the door.
Armstrong said organizers are also bringing back some Cornfest nostalgia, including a home decorating contest inspired by the original festival.
Armstrong remembers attending the original Cornfest as a child and said its return has created a homecoming atmosphere.
Admission to Jarvis Cornfest is by donation, with money helping cover festival costs, including the popular fireworks display.
The full schedule and line dancing tickets are available through the Jarvis Cornfest website and social media pages.
