Charge the phone and pick out your favourite floral ‘fit, because the Scenic Rim’s beloved sunflower farm is opening its gates to welcome visitors back for their epic annual festival, showcasing their million (yes, A MILLION) beautiful, blooming sunflowers.
Save the date, because over the weekend of 19-21 April you can jump in the car and make tracks to the Kalbar Sunflower Festival where you'll bear witness to their astonishing fields of gold. During the festival you have full permission to wander the fields and take all the selfies, and you can even pick your own bunch of sunflowers while you're at it. And be sure to work your way through the maze set amongst four acres of sunflowers.
The experiences on offer at the Sunflower Festival include family photo sessions, helicopter rides, art classes and yoga sessions. There will also be live entertainment, kids activities and sunflower-themed market stalls to peruse, with a special children's fairy garden a new addition for 2024.
Hungry? Grab a bite to eat and get your daily caffeine fix from one of the coffee and food vans or book in early for one of the special dining events which are yet to be announced but sure to be spectacular.
Tickets will go live on Tuesday 26 March and sold out in less than 24 hours last year, so make sure you set yourself a calendar alert to check their website bright and early for the link—check their Instagram page for hints on what time they'll be going on sale.
