Sunflower Festival for Freeport IL

Tanners Orchard is proud to offer its annual sunflower festival for Freeport IL. We are always looking for new ways to celebrate the inherent beauty of our area, which is why we started our Sunflower Experience in 2020. After 73 years of running our orchards and bringing incredible family activities to the area, our family chose to expand our offerings with this young and beloved occasion. Today, our Sunflower Experience is a once-a-year even that increases the experience of our everyday offerings and is an unforgettable event you won’t want to miss.

What to Expect from our Sunflower Festival

The Back 40 Fun Acres will be bursting with extra fun activities for both the kids and grown-ups alike. The Sunflower Festival will see the addition of the Jumping Jack Pad to the already entertaining activities. Don’t forget to wait until after the Jumping Jack Pad to try the treats from the bakery, because you aren’t going to be able to have just one of our delicious donuts! The festival also sees the addition of the Grain Train ride and Barrel Train ride so you can take a tour of all of Tanners Orchard. Be on the lookout, because the famous Tanners unicorns will also make an appearance at the festival.

The kids can also get their faces painted during our Sunflower festival. After your Tiger tends their stripes or your kitty gets those final whiskers added, you can have a lovely meal amidst the sunflowers. You’ll even get your own fresh sunflowers to take home as a reminder.

Before you head home, don’t forget to snag a pony ride. Or take a wagon trip to the U-pick fields for apples or pumpkin. You’ll have no problem getting your haul home with our wagons! Of course, our offerings are so delicious, everything might not make it all the way there.
