CELEBRATE FALL EDMONTON CORN MAZE

WHAT’S HAPPENING Fall makes its official arrival this month, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a visit to the Edmonton Corn Maze. Since 2001, visitors have enjoyed coming to this popular destination for some classic family fun – and the 2021 maze is sure to impress! Created to challenge both the young and young at heart, this year’s maze puts the spotlight on the Edmonton’s Food Bank’s 40th anniversary with a unique design that features more than 5 km of paths and 85 decision points. There are over 210,000 people who are counting on the Edmonton’s Food Bank each month, and the team at the Edmonton Corn Maze is hoping to help support the cause by collecting food and monetary donations throughout the season. Be sure to plan your visit for some ultimate fall entertainment and to support an incredibly important organization. Plus, you’ll also enjoy the on-site Farm Market featuring local produce and goods, kid-friendly activities – and depending on when you visit, sunflowers and pumpkins!
