why we bloom
This festival is more than just sunflowers. It’s about bringing people together, celebrating community, and raising funds for important causes.
In 2026, we are focusing our efforts on raising funds to provide more cuddle beds for hospitals across South East Queensland, helping families spend precious time together when it matters most.
If you’re interested in sponsoring the festival, volunteering, or sharing a wonderful fundraising idea, we’d love to hear from you:

A celebration born out of hardship
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Scenic Rim Region you will find us amongst the million sunflowers at our annual Kalbar Sunflower Festival. In 2021, Lucerne farmers Jenny and Russell Jenner were struggling to keep their crops alive during one of the longest droughts in living memory. Water had gotten so bad that they couldn’t grow their main crop, but after Russell brought a bunch of sunflowers home from the grocery store the two had a light bulb moment. Sunflowers need very little water and they look spectacular and from there the festival grew.
