The air is turning crisp, corn stalks are tall and golden, and families are climbing into hay wagons again. Cornfest is returning to Brooklyn. It is one of those events where you hear children laughing, smell roasted corn in the air, and see neighbors coming together.
Held each fall at Green Meadows Farm, Cornfest mixes food, animals, and seasonal fun into one big weekend. This year’s dates are September 20 and 21, 2025, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. (Kids Out and About Rochester). Enjoy the day, but stay aware of travel and crowds. If an accident happens, our Brooklyn car accident lawyers are here to protect your rights.
What & When — Event Details
Cornfest will run on Saturday and Sunday, September 20–21, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Green Meadows Farm, 3159 Flatbush Avenue (Kids Out and About Rochester). Tickets are about $14 per person for anyone age two or older, and that covers entry to the farm and most attractions.
Some add-ons, like pony rides or special crafts, may require a small fee. Because it is outdoors, weather can affect the day, so families often check updates before leaving home. Rain or shine, the farm atmosphere makes it feel like a proper fall outing.
Food Highlights & Specialty Eats
Corn naturally takes the spotlight. Visitors line up for roasted corn, kettle corn, and sometimes even bowls of corn chowder (Kids Out and About Rochester). Some vendors prepare corn salsa or corn muffins, giving more ways to enjoy the harvest (Mommy Poppins). Alongside that, food trucks bring baked goods and seasonal snacks.
Drinks are mostly family-friendly, with sodas, cider, and bottled water available. Longtime attendees say early afternoon is busiest, so if food is a priority, plan to arrive on the earlier side. The smells alone make the food stalls worth a stop.
Live Entertainment & Activities
The festival isn’t just about eating. Music, either from a DJ or live bands, plays through the day (Mommy Poppins). Kids love the corn box where they can dig into kernels, and hayrides circle the grounds at regular intervals (Kids Out and About Rochester). The farm animals are a major draw — children can pet goats, calves, and alpacas.
Families snap photos on tractors or beside large pumpkins. Craft stations sometimes include making corn husk wreaths or learning about heirloom varieties (Mommy Poppins). Adults browse the farm store for fall plants, honey, and snacks. Together, it creates a rhythm of busy play and quiet breaks.
Family-Friendly & Community Elements
Cornfest is designed for every age group. Kids might race in burlap sacks, toss bean bags in cornhole games, or get their faces painted. Parents enjoy watching them, but they also join in scavenger hunts or casual games (Queens County Farm Museum).
The farm itself sets the mood, with hay bales, autumn decorations, and picnic tables under the trees (Kids Out and About Rochester). Families linger over meals, relax in the shade, or wander trails. The event feels less like a performance and more like a big community get-together.
Safety & Legal Reminders
Crowds and farms both come with hazards. Watch for uneven ground, cords, or wet spots that can cause slips. Drivers should expect delays and temporary closures near the festival entrance. Pedestrians crossing parking areas must be extra cautious.
If someone is injured, whether from a fall or a vehicle, the steps are the same: get medical care, take photos, and report the situation. Having a record protects you if questions about liability arise later.
