Sunshine, slushies, and endless watermelon—it doesn’t get more summer than this.
Come cool off at our Watermelon Festival, held right here on one of the largest watermelon farms in the Midwest! We grow over 6 varieties of watermelon (plus cantaloupe!)—and during this special event, you can eat as much as you want.
- All-you-can-eat watermelon
- Fresh watermelon slushies (only available during the festival!)
- Watermelon eating contest
- Watermelon sk11ng—yes, it’s a thing and it’s hilarious
- Farm fun during the dog days of summer
​Whether you're here to indulge in juicy slices, try something totally new like watermelon sk11ng, or sip on the most refreshing slushie of the season—this is the ultimate summer celebration you won’t want to miss. Sweet. Refreshing. Totally unforgettable.
