Cornfest
Ready for a sweet, “corny” experience?
Search no further. This July 16th, come join Verde Valley’s Cornfest, an old-fashioned family event that stemmed from its famous sweet corn grown at Hauser and Hauser Farms in Camp Verde.

And if you’d like to enjoy a Vintage baseball game, head to Fort Verde State Historic Park, where they also host a Victorian Christmas ornament-making event for kids as part of the Christmas in July celebration.
