About the Festival

Created by Lucerne farmers Jenny and Russell Jenner during one of Queensland's longest droughts, the Kalbar Sunflower Festival has grown from a simple idea to a beloved community celebration. What started as a drought-resistant alternative crop has blossomed into an annual event that brings thousands of visitors to the Scenic Rim, supporting local businesses and raising funds for important causes.

In 2026, the festival is raising funds for hospital cuddle beds across South East Queensland, helping families spend precious time together when it matters most. Every ticket purchased contributes to this wonderful cause.

For the latest festival updates, visit the official Kalbar Sunflower Festival website or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
