The Schwirian Farm Sunflower Festival in Forward Township returned this year after drought conditions and hungry deer wiped out the sunflower blossoms, forcing a cancellation in 2024.
The event runs from rom 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily through July 31.
Admission is free. Parking is $5.
A section of the farm offers pick-your-own sunflowers.
