Acres of sunflowers are finally tall enough for North Okanagan festival

Forget corn mazes – get lost at the Sunflower Festival in the North Okanagan.

It’s the second year that Bloom Flower Festival is hosting the sunflower event, which features dozens of varieties across eight acres of land.

The Sunflower Festival is on now until Sept. 4 at 5050 Knob Hill Road in Armstrong. Operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., though the farm is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
