SANDUSKY—Frontier Town is set to come alive with live music, interactive games for kids and adults, artisans, crafters, roaming family entertainment, festive décor, and savory corn-inspired treats as Frontier Festival kicks off this Thursday at high noon.
The event, hosted by Cedar Point, promises a culinary adventure with an impressive lineup of dishes and desserts prepared by Cedar Point’s food and beverage team. The cornfield of flavors includes smoked corn on the cob, charred corn and chorizo flatbread, corn fritters, jalapeño creamed corn empanadas, elote sweet corn quesadillas, and sweet corn cheesecake squares. With over 65 hearty food portions, craft beers, specialty drinks, hard seltzers, and ciders available throughout Frontier Town, attendees can indulge in a wide array of offerings from local and national beverage makers such as Great Lakes Brewing Company®, Fat Head’s®, Elysian Brewing, Platform Beer Co., Saugatuck Brewing Co., and more.
Cedar Point’s Frontier Festival is an annual celebration of hope, health, and harvest, inspired by a partnership with Prayers From Maria, a local organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. The festival’s symbol of hope is the sunflower, which blooms annually at Maria’s Field of Hope in Avon, Ohio, and at Maria’s Field of Hope at Cedar Point, located next to Express Hotel in Sandusky.
