Kalbar Sunflower Festival 2025
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Scenic Rim Region you will find us amongst the million sunflowers at our annual Kalbar Sunflower Festival. In 2021, Lucerne farmers Jenny and Russell Jenner were struggling to keep their crops alive during one of the longest droughts in living memory. Water had gotten so bad that they couldn’t grow their main crop, but after Russell brought a bunch of sunflowers home from the grocery store the two had a light bulb moment.
Sunflowers need very little water and they look spectacular and from there the festival grew.
The annual Kalbar Sunflower Festival is back with a whopping one million sunflowers, fine food, and a touch of photography.
Taking place in May 2025, these golden beauties will bloom once again and be a picture-perfect canvas for a huge program of fun-filled events.
