A Sunflower Festival is about to take root at a Prince George-area farm.
It will be held at Foreman Farms, a mere 10-minute drive from the city's downtown, and will feature a family-friendly walk through a field of beautiful sunflowers along with interactive and static photo stations.
There will also be an animal viewing area featuring goats, chickens, and pigs and Bloom, an on-site concession where you'll be able to enjoy summertime treats.
The event will kick off in mid-August, once the flowers are in bloom, and will run seven days a week during the month with varying weekday and weekend hours.
They will be posted at www.northernlightswinery.ca/sunflower-fest.
The hours in September will vary slightly and it is recommended to go early in the season to ensure the best viewing experience.
Foreman Farms is found at 1965 Foreman Road, off Highway 16.
The event is being hosted by Northern Lights Winery, which owns the Foreman Farms property.
“We are incredibly passionate about bringing new events to Northern B.C. that our community can be proud of," Northern Lights Winery CEO Doug Bell said.
"The PG Sunflower Festival is going to provide incredible memories for families, visitors, and kids in a safe environment that is a short drive from downtown.
"I am hopeful that many people will enjoy the event this year and will allow us to grow and continue this event annually in the future.”
Tourism Prince George has also thrown it's support behind the attraction.
Tourism Prince George CEO Colin Carson said creating new experiences in Prince George is one of the organization's goals, "and we're confident that the Sunflower Festival will do just that. This new attraction just adds to the already robust and vibrant tourism offerings in our city. We can't wait to see it grow."
