Pictures, frolicking, and general merriment are welcomed during the festival. The field is quite irresistible during the full bloom: it's about seven acres and has thousands of daffodils! The daffodils aren't all the same type either, you'll find a variety of small cup, large cup, trumpet, and others around the field.
In addition to the normal festival activities, this flower fest also has a plant swap!
