Tennessee Sunflower & Zinnia Festival

Head to Lucky Ladd Farms for a cheerful summer outing centered around blooming sunflowers and zinnias. Your admission includes access to the flower fields, plus you can purchase fresh blooms to take home—single sunflowers, zinnias, or pre-arranged buckets and jars are available at various price points. The farm encourages buying flowers in advance to guarantee availability and even offers a 20% discount when you purchase with your tickets online. Beyond the flowers, there's plenty to keep families entertained. The festival includes access to the farm's Fun Park with playgrounds, a petting farm and zoo, nature trails, and splash day activities like a splash pad and water slides for the kids. Food trucks are on-site, and you'll find local artisans selling crafts. While advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended (gate availability isn't guaranteed), Season Pass members don't need reservations. Keep in mind that bloom dates are estimated since flowers are a natural crop—check the farm's Facebook or Instagram for updates closer to your visit.
