The Sunflower Festival at Bellemont Farm offers families a wonderful day featuring approximately five acres of sunflower fields to explore and photograph, cut-your-own flower options, food trucks, craft vendors, a beer garden, live music (noon to 5:30 PM), and activities for children. Running on weekends from August 15 to September 13, 2026 (plus Labor Day), the festival provides full entertainment on weekends while weekdays offer a quieter experience with sunflower fields, cut-your-own flowers, and play areas. This event is perfect for families looking to enjoy nature, support local vendors, and create beautiful seasonal memories together.
