A hollerin' good time awaits at Cedar Point's Frontier Festival
SANDUSKY, Ohio (May 23, 2023) – 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’s culinary bounty includes an a-maize-ing lineup of dishes and desserts, hand-crafted and prepared by Cedar Point’s food and beverage team. The cornfield of hearty tastes 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.

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 whose mission is to raise awareness and money to fund research to end childhood cancer. Its symbol of hope, the sunflower, blooming 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), is at the heart of the festival.
