Broom Corn Festival
Downtown Arcola, Arcola, IL
Arcola calls itself the Broom Corn Capital of the World, and each September its downtown streets host a National Broom Sweeping Contest, broom-making demonstrations, and a parade alongside a 5K/10K race. The festival marks its 55th year in 2026.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
