Join us for our annual Corn Roast with artist, writer, activist and gardener Ron Benner, marking the 21th anniversary of his outdoor photographic and garden installation, As the Crow Flies. Gather around Benner's roving corn-roasting wagon, Maiz Barbacoa, which is a travelling celebration of corn culture featuring images of roasters from around the world and the names of corn in over 50 languages. Enjoy freshly roasted cobs served with butter, salt, Mexican chili powder, and fresh lime juice. Meet the artist, take a tour of the site-specific garden installation, and share in the simple joy of a beloved community tradition.
The 2026 London Festival Hub is made possible thanks to the partnership of Tourism London and OLG.
It is a flagship initiative of Ontario Culture Days, a province-wide festival supported by foundational partners the Province of Ontario and the Ontario Arts Council. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Organizer
Ontario Culture Days
Ontario Culture Days is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates artists and cultural groups in our communities.
The Ontario Culture Days Festival is an annual celebration of arts, culture and heritage taking place each fall across the province. Each year, we work with organizers of all disciplines to produce this province-wide festival. Organizers host programs throughout Ontario and invite the public to participate for free.
Ontario Culture Days lives at the local level. We support organizers from the smallest hamlets to the largest cities, while coordinating with other national and provincial Culture Days partners. We support the success of our sector colleagues through resources and network development, while highlighting the breadth and heterogeneity of Ontario’s arts and culture to the wider public
