Annual June Corn Festival Fun for the Whole Family

The Coastal Alabama Farmers & Fishermens Market (CAFFM) is hosting its annual Corn Festival Saturday, June 15, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

It’s all about the delicious flavors of the season including juicy tomatoes, cool watermelon and the star of the show, corn! Vendors will have everything patrons have come to expect including fresh produce, seafood, meats and baked goods. The festival will also feature more artisans than ever, which could help visitors find a one-of-a-kind Father’s Day gift. 

Since Father’s Day is June 16, bring dad out to enjoy the market and help crown the winner of the first-ever Corny Dad Cook-Off. Three local chefs who are fathers will be creating a delicious dish with corn as a main ingredient and 200 lucky attendees will have the opportunity to sample each dish and vote for their favorite. 

Bring the kids to take part in all the fun activities for them including an all ages corn-eating contest. CAFFM Market Manager Alescia Forland encourages everyone to drop by and enjoy the festivities. 

“It’s the season of flip flops, sunshine, grilling and that first perfect bite of warm corn on the cob that makes the butter dribble down your chin. We’ve taken that freeing summer feeling and packed it into a festival full of food and fun for the whole family,” says Forland.

Location: 781 Farmers Market Ln., Foley, Alabama. 251-709-4469 (ask for Alescia). For more information on the Corn Festival, see our Facebook page or visit CoastalAlabamaMarket.com.
