As summer winds down and those end of season blues set in, nature gifts us with the cheerful and beautiful sunflower. Throughout Kentucky, some sunflower fields bloom earlier in the season, but many are at peak at some point during August. Country Pumpkins in Dry Ridge is known for its fun-filled fall event each year, but now through August 30th they are inviting guests to a new sunflower festival in Northern Kentucky. Sunflower Days is a great way to get outside, say goodbye to summer, and snap some stunning pictures along this winding sunflower path in Kentucky.
Country Pumpkins is a beautiful, working family farm in Dry Ridge that welcomes guests each fall. They are now extending their offerings from pumpkins to sunflowers and Sunflower Days is set to become a favorite sunflower festival in Northern Kentucky.

There are a number of photo ops set up throughout the field, so you may even consider bringing along your favorite photographer and grabbing a few family photos (it’ll be time for holiday cards before we know it!).

You can also purchase an opportunity to pick your own sunflowers and take home a few to bring summer indoors for a bit longer.

It definitely still feels like summer outside, but if you’re ready for all things fall, be sure to purchase an add-on ticket to visit Pumpkin Ridge. Here you will get a carving-size pumpkin and the family will love the petting zoo, corn pit, slides, and pumpkin launcher. These attractions will be back again when it’s time for the Fall Festival (but the sunflowers will not last that long!).
