The Richmond Sunflower Festival
The ultimate experience for all nature and flower lovers. This festival takes place at Richmond Farm. This festival happens in summer, majorly from August 1st week till Mid-September.
People visiting this festival can expect to see lots of sunflowers, but also other flowers including dahlias. When you arrive at the venue signs are directing you to the sunflower festival. You’ll buy your tickets and then wait for a tractor and wagon to take you to the fields. The wagon ride goes down a dirt road through the farm to the sunflowers. It takes about 5 or so minutes to get there. As soon as people reach the entrance they are then on their own to explore the fields. As soon as you are done exploring these beautiful fields full of sunflowers and some other flowers too and when you’re ready, you’ll find another tractor with a wagon that will take you back to the start near the produce store.
There are many different kinds of sunflowers at the festival. There are short ones, tall ones, and really tall ones! It’s remarkable how many different varieties there are, and how big some of them grow!
At the sunflower festival, in addition to the wagon ride, sunflowers, and other flowers, there is sometimes live music.
