Westview Orchards Near Detroit Will Host Sunflower Days Festival

There’s nothing more magical than meandering through a field of vibrant sunflowers on a summer afternoon. While those of us who call Detroit home might not spend as much time as we’d like among natural surroundings, we’re lucky to enjoy convenient access to all sorts of outdoor activities and events. One upcoming festival within driving distance of the Motor City will give you your sunflower and sunshine fix.

Westview Orchards is located at 65075 Van Dyke in the town of Washington, just 45 minutes from Detroit.

This delightful family-owned and operated establishment has long drawn in visitors from throughout the region for everything from apple picking to farm market shopping to special events.

There’s even an onsite winery that offers live music, delicious wine and hard ciders, and rental space for gatherings. In short, Westview is a truly magical place to spend time throughout the year.

As summer progresses in Detroit, the orchard will come to life with something special: its third annual Sunflower Days celebration, which runs July 23 through Sept. 6.

This is so much more than your standard summer festival; it's an exuberant *event* that delights in all things sunflowers and extends through peak bloom, with over 100,000 planted flowers to enjoy.

Many guests come for the chance to pick their own sunflowers, which make an ideal addition to any home. There are also ample selfie opportunities throughout the fields, so get ready to pose!

Special events throughout Sunflower Days include relaxing sunflower yoga among the blooms, a sunflower craft night, and a live butterfly release in the fields. Does it get any more enchanting?

General admission to this exciting summertime event costs $10 per person, but the memories you’ll make are genuinely priceless. This colorful and rejuvenating fest certainly belongs on your to-do list.
