Olathe

If you can pick a time to visit this small, southwest town, shoot for early August. The crowd- and stomach-pleasing Olathe Sweet Corn Festival — coined the biggest little festival in the U.S. — takes place this time each year. Boiled or roasted, take your pick, but make sure you hit try the divine ears at this down-home harvest party. Live music and entertainment round out this family event. In addition, summer concerts take place all season at Community Park.
