The much-anticipated Sugar Grove Corn Boil Festival is back for 2025, promising even more fun and excitement from July 24-27. This year’s event promises an unforgettable experience with live music, carnival rides, food vendors, arts and crafts booths, and much more.

Parade!
Friday evening at 5:00pm the Festival truly kicks off with the opening ceremony parade celebrating local groups and organizations.
Craft & Vendor Market
For the 2025 Festival, some exciting changes and updates to the Craft & Vendor Market have been made —including a new layout and more options to enhance your experience as a guest! One of the biggest additions this year is a HIGH VALUE raffle prize (worth over $500!)—and the only way to earn raffle tickets is by shopping in the Market. Guests will receive 1 raffle ticket for every $15 spent on goods or services from market vendors. Raffle tickets will not be sold separately, so the only way to enter is by supporting local vendors. Whether you’re buying a handmade gift, local treat, or unique craft—your purchase could lead to a big win. So come ready to shop, explore, and take home something great (maybe even that grand prize)!
Cornhole Tournament
On Friday at 6:30pm (registration begins at 6:00pm), the Festival’s second annual Cornhole Tournament will be held. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a beginner, this event is perfect for everyone. The tournament will be played in teams of two, with teammates assigned through a blind draw. The entry fee is $20 per person, and the Grand Prize is $250.
Sunday Car Show
Car enthusiasts will not want to miss the car show, which will take place on Sunday. A variety of classic and modern vehicles will be on display, offering something for every car lover.
Bingo is Back!
Back by popular demand, Bingo will be returning to the festival this year. Bingo will be held on Friday, July 26, Saturday, July 27, and Sunday, July 28 in Sugar Grove’s Volunteer Park located behind the John Shields Elementary School at 85 Main Street in Sugar Grove. The Bingo tent will be right behind the elementary school inside the school’s park area. Senior/handicapped parking is right in front of the school and there are shuttles to take visitors back and forth to the Corn Boil areas.
Fireworks Display
On Saturday, like every other year, the festival will feature a spectacular fireworks display at 9:30pm. Be sure to grab a good spot to enjoy this dazzling show.
The Sugar Grove Corn Boil Festival will be held at Shields Elementary School and surrounding areas.
