The Eden Corn Festival is a small fair held in the agriculture-based town of Eden. Eden is located in Erie County, New York, and has some of the most fertile and well-drained soils in New York State, allowing farmers to grow over 300 acres (121 ha) of corn annually, and produce more early corn than anyone else in upstate New York.

“Is Eden out of time and out of space?
And do you gather about us when pale light
Shining on water and fallen among leaves,
And winds blowing from flowers, and whirr of feathers
And the green quiet, have uplifted the heart?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye,
And it looks like it’s climbin’ clear up to the sky.”
—Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)
“The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
