Sweet Corn Festival
​Queen Pageants

Schedule & Activities >  Sweet Corn Queen Contests

Sweet Corn Queen Contests

There are a few traditions that are central to the annual East Prairie Sweet Corn Festival: lots of amazing sweet corn, a patriotic Independence Day weekend parade and -- since 1975 -- the selection of our Sweet Corn Queen and court.  

Today, the Sweet Corn Queen continues to represent East Prairie throughout her reign.  We've also added our Jr. Miss and children's contests to the fun.
