We just want to say a huge thank you!!

Thank you to our sponsors who have donated to the festival to make all the wonderful things possible this year

Thank you to our vendors, who stuck it out with terrible forecasts and rain for a few hours of the day.

Thank you to Johnson County High School and the Johnson County School Board for partnering with us and allowing us to host our event on your campus! Thank you to the janitors and staff who worked hard to help us with the event.

Thank you to the attendees who showed up and supported this amazing event again this year despite the weather. We appreciate your love and support of an event we care so deeply for.

Our committee members and volunteers who put in the work and help make this event happen!

We couldn’t do this event without any of you. We understand it might not be your choice of location but we are happy we have the opportunity to continue to have our event on the original Fairgrounds, with indoor restrooms, an air conditioned seating to get out of the heat, or shelter from the rain.

Thank you to the local churches for allowing us to use your vans/busses for shuttling attendees and vendors to and from for the festival.

Thank you everyone who loves and supports this festival. We appreciate you more than you know.

With a little break and then it’s preparation for the Mountain City Sunflower Festival!
Mark your calendars!

We are so blessed and grateful to all our amazing sponsors for this year's festival. Thank you sponsors without your generous monetary support; this event would not have been possible.

Please make sure to thank them when you patron their business.

Come join the fun tomorrow July 11th 9am-4pm at the Johnson County High School.

Rain or shine, we will be there with the fun!
Grab an umbrella or poncho and head to the festival for a great time, amazing entertainment all day!!! Plenty of vendors to shop from and food trucks to eat from. Don't forget the Miss Sunflower Pageant and the Deputy Allen Lipford Annual Memorial Car/Truck/Bike Show at the festival too.

We have been working hard to make the festival better for everyone. With that we have changed the layout of the festival, and everything will be up top, vendors, stage and fun zone all are up on top of the hill.

This location has very limited parking, so we have mapped out our shuttle routes and will have busses and vans shuttling attendees from various parking lots in the city to the festival. Below are the Shuttle route locations and their assigned letters. Vehicles will have a magnet on the side showing the route and location for drop off and pick up, and each location will have a sign where vans/busses will drop off and pick up at the parking locations.

Please plan your visit with us accordingly. Can't wait to see ya'll This Saturday July 11th!!!!
