The Sunflower Festival at Richmond Country Farms is located in Richmond, B.C. Canada. The farm has been family-owned and operated for over 40 years! The market is a unique and lively place to shop.

I was out on my bike and when I saw the Sunflower Festival sign, I stopped by to see it. At the Third Annual Richmond Sunflower Festival, I was lost in the over eight acres of sunflowers, dahlias and gladiolias. It was a beautiful experience for a summer day being immersed in brushstrokes of variety of colours and a vast assortment of sizes like in a Van Goh painting.

You can venture around the farm looking at the animals and U-Pick or already cut sunflowers from the field. The festival owners are very organised: with pliers for cutting flowers and also wet wipes to keep the flowers fresh. And I had fun choosing mine too or you can buy seasonal treats and bouquets in the field or inside the Farm where you can buy cut sunflowers as a souvenir.

It is a wonderfully peaceful place with beautiful things from the farm shop and seasonal products as well as vegetables, fruit, salads and seasonal herbs. There are other products including organic products and of course you can buy cut sunflowers as a souvenir!

I had fun immersed in the brushstrokes of a summer of bright colours among the rows of sunflowers almost everywhere and seeing the diversity of colours and different positions and some of their heads lowered or closed and different heights.

A mega place to indulge in nature and the colours of the magnificent flowers and I was lucky that the blue sky and the contrast of the colours of the flowers were wonderful!

Without forgetting that they were very organised throughout, good country music by good and well dressed artists who played both in the carriage and also where there were food tracks! Obviously it's not free but the price is very reasonable the cost of admission was $10 ($12 on weekends).
