One of Metro Vancouver's most popular flower festivals returns this weekend
As summer begins to wind down with the onset of August, those who want to make the most of it might consider attending one of Metro Vancouver’s sunniest festivals.
The Richmond Country Farms Sunflower Festival opening day is Sunday, Aug. 2, where you can find over 90 flower varieties of sunflowers, dahlias, gladiolas, and seasonal blooms. You have access to 20 acres of blooms, which is double the size of previous years.
“It’s more than just flowers — it’s a full summer experience: from scenic walks and yoga to farm-fresh market finds, local eats, and winery tastings. Great for families, couples, photographers, and flower lovers alike,” reads the website.
The farm also has walking paths that are suitable for strollers throughout the fields, with a number of good spots to take photos, like flower wagons, rustic props, and other Instagram-worthy areas.
There are also tractor-pulled wagon rides, farm animals, rotating food trucks, and the CP Huntington Train.
