MILLERSPORT - The Millersport Sweet Corn Festival's concert lineup for 2021 has been announced, with entertainers that will "connect with audiences of all ages."
After the 2020 celebration was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival is set to start Wednesday, Sept. 1, and run through Saturday, Sept. 4., with rides, food and vendors returning.
Rock band Jefferson Starship will perform at 8:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 3, at the Brookover-Harlow Pavilion. The band was founded in the 1970s and is one of the most successful touring rock groups of the '70s and '80s.
Country artist Terri Clark is set to perform at 8:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 4, also at the Brookover-Harlow Pavilion. Clark was scheduled to perform in the 2020 festival before it was canceled.
