A Fresh Farm Tradition Blooms August 23rd and 24th

The Great Walton Sunflower Festival

A Golden Celebration of Sunflowers and Farm Life.

Join us in 2026 for a beautiful, low-key weekend among the sunflower blooms. The Great Walton Sunflower Festival is a sweet way to welcome the season — with sunflower fields, farm animals, photo ops, and fresh country air. It’s our first year, and we’re keeping things simple — but full of charm, beauty, and a perfect start to the season.

Bring your camera, explore the fields, and take in a relaxing afternoon at the farm before Fall Fest begins. Whether you’re here for a quiet stroll or golden-hour shots in the flowers, this is the perfect time to enjoy the calm before the autumn crowds arrive.
