There’s a lot more to do at Sweetfields Farm‘s Spring Sunflower Festival than take Instagram pics.

The Hernando County farms’ 17th annual celebration includes family-friendly activities like “Florida’s only true sunflower maze,” hayrides, farm animals, crafts, U-pick gardens (when available), pedal tractors, veggie launchers and tree houses. There’s a fluffy cow named Cannoli, too.

Local vendors will sell food and wares at the Harvest Barn Market.

Tickets are $13.28-$14 for Sweetfields Farm’s 17th Annual Spring Sunflower Festival happening Saturday, May 24-Monday, May 26 in Brooksville.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
