July 11, 2024

Are you wondering where you can visit a sunflower farm? Sinkland Farms, located in Christiansburg, VA, may be best known for its amazing annual pumpkin festival that draws people from all over throughout the Fall season—but this summer we are planning something just as great that you must check out. Our 4th annual Sunflower Festival will be an experience you will remember forever! 

Attendees will view 8 acres of sunflower fields, with over 200,000 blooms, and 20 different varieties of flowers will be a new summer family tradition. While our sunflowers will be the star of the show, we will have 3 weekends jam-packed with kids activities, music, food, and fun you won’t want to miss. Enjoy all the festivities at Sinkland Sunflower Festival, unlike any other!

Listen to live music, explore local arts and crafts vendors, and tour the grounds through our walking trails. Even the pickiest eaters will find something to sink their teeth into with our wide variety of food trucks. Taste authentic southern barbeque, kettle corn, hand-dipped ice cream, and more. Grown-ups will enjoy a sampling of beer and wine. Picking a beautiful flower will be just the beginning of your day at the Sinkland Farms Sunflower Festival.
