Some General Information When Traveling To Corn Fest:   

As you approach DeKalb, be sure to follow traffic signs and announcements. Please note that upon your approach to the festival site, there will be various areas and lots to park.

Directions:

If you are coming from Chicago and the Suburbs: Use I -88 to the Peace Road exit for DeKalb. Go North on Peace Rd. to Pleasant Street, then go East on Pleasant to Airport.

If you are coming from Rockford and Wisconsin: Use I-39 to IL-38 exit. From IL-38, take IL-38 east directly to Peace Rd. Go North on Peace Rd. to Pleasant Street, then go East on Pleasant to Airport..

Traffic:

Over the past years, we made many improvements to the overall traffic plan that have decreased the entrance and exit time for most festival patrons. As we continue to better our traffic plan, we ask that you use only the designated walkways, during Load-In and Loud-out times. This will help the internal flow of traffic, which will significantly decrease back up. We also ask for your help by carpooling as much as possible, utilizing the shuttle buses and by cooperating with our parking staff, law enforcement, and following all internal traffic plans.
