The Richmond Sunflower Festival is now open for the season, welcoming visitors to experience acres of blooming sunflowers at their peak. Featuring over 20 sunflower varieties, from towering giants to ornamental favourites, the festival offers a vibrant and joyful outdoor experience for all ages, running until mid-September.
Guests can stroll through expansive walking paths designed for easy exploration, discover charming photo spots throughout the fields, and enjoy the scenery without the crowds. Beyond the blooms, the festival showcases a curated selection of local food trucks and vendors offering cold drinks, sweet treats, and picnic-ready meals.
