Sundridge Sunflower Festival

10/19/2026

Planning is already underway for the Sundridge Sunflower Festival being held on August 7, 2027, and we are looking for volunteers to help ensure its continued success.

As some of our long-standing committee members prepare to step down, we want to welcome new volunteers who are interested in helping shape the Festival’s future. This is an opportunity to learn from experienced committee members, share your skills and ideas, and help ensure the Festival continues to thrive for years to come.

We are particularly looking for people to help with marketing and communications, logistics and sponsorships.

We are also seeking a co-chair to work alongside our team and community partners to help coordinate activities and ensure the Festival runs smoothly.

Whether you have experience to share or are simply interested in getting involved, we would love to hear from you. Together, we can build on the Festival’s success and ensure a strong future for this much-loved community event.

Our next meeting is November 20, 2026 at 6 pm. We hope that you will consider attending either in person or virtually. Send us a DM or contact Vicki Whitmell [email protected] for details or to learn more.

We look forward to hearing from you.

While it was a very hard morning and still feeling very fresh for everyone, here’s an update as to what happened.

We had a shelter in place plan, there’s been a plan since this happened 3 years ago. If you think we didn’t learn from that we did. We had the Village Emergency Management Team assisting us with making the calls leading up to the festival and the day of.

Unfortunately at 9:00 as we were looking at the radar the storm cell had shifted and was set to hit the festival at 10 am. We were in the moment of getting ready to call a shelter in place when a severe thunderstorm watch was issued. As soon as that severe thunderstorm watch came in, it was out of our hands. We had a full team of emergency personnel and our community emergency management team that ultimately decided it was no longer safe to be open when that storm hits.

This was not a light decision by anyone.

For vendors that have been calling and emailing, we will be having a committee meeting within the next 72 hours and will get back to all of your concerns.
