Creek Bed Country Farmacy specializes in oilseed sunflowers, which unlike ornamental sunflowers, only bloom for about 12 days, so it’s during the fest that the sunflowers are at their best.

And best might be an understatement. The spectacular sea of sunflowers is truly a sight to behold, which means a camera is a must when attending the festival.

Due to COVID-19, there are a few changes to the festival this year. For one, visitors will park in the grass parking lot, which is south of the animal display. Also, hayrides will only be used for transporting elderly and disabled visitors to and from the parking lot.
