Fields of flowers await at this annual Dahlia Festival hosted by Swan Island Dahlias. If the idea of strolling through 40 acres of brilliant blooms sounds like fun, you’re going to want to clear a spot on your calendar for this one.
Welcome to Swan Lake Dahlias! This beautiful, family-owned farm has been in operation for nearly 100 years, and it's absolutely brimming with beautiful blooms.
It's the largest dahlia festival in the country, with more than 400 flower arrangements on display. Take your time to browse through them all, and be inspired to create your own.
You'll also want to spend a lot of time in the flower fields. They're open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and if you can't make it to the festival, you can always stop by to walk through.
There's plenty of fun to be had during the festival. JJ Entertainers will be on hand for balloon animals and face painting. There's a full lineup of live music, and plenty of workshops and demonstrations.
Food trucks and vendors will be on hand to provide tasty treats, beer, and wine. Vendors this year include Chop Chop Chicken Sundae, Creperie Le Bon Temps, Dano's Dogs, St. Josephs Winery, Pint Size Pub House, and more.
Did you know that Swan Island Dahlias is the largest grower of dahlias in the entire country? You won't want to miss out on the chance to visit this stunning farm. Fields are open to the public through September 7th.
