Sweetcorn 2007

The Urbana Business Association was proud to present the 31st Annual Sweetcorn Festival in Downtown Urbana

Despite some rain, this year's Sweetcorn Festival was a great success. We had an amazing turnout for Tons of Fun on Friday and Little Feat on Saturday.

The businesses and citizens of Urbana, Illinois, invite you to the streets of Downtown Urbana for Champaign County's oldest and largest festival. For three decades the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival has brought thousands of friends, families, entertainers and vendors to Main Street to share in the best that traditional, small town America has to offer.
