Sunflower Trail & Festival

Expand

The annual Sunflower Trail and Festival brings art and entertainment to the grounds of the Red River Crossroads Museum. Visitors can all sorts of handmade items by heritage crafters and artists for sale, arts and crafts activities for kids, exhibits of local art, a sunflower photography contest exhibit, and more. New this year are exhibits of local vintage tractors and the unveiling of a mural by artist Diane Long. Food and refreshment vendors are on-site, or you could visit one of several local favorites like Main Street Restaurant, James Country Store Restaurant, and D&I Café and Deli. 

Of course, you wouldn't drive all that way without taking time to explore the Sunflower Trail, which takes you by several fields planted with sunflowers, and quite a few wildflower meadows. To drive it, turn right at Old Dixie Gin and Sentell Road, and drive the loop around the levee. Sentell Road circles back to Highway 3049 at Cornerstone Baptist Church, just north of Dixie. Festival from 9 am–3 pm. Admission is free. More details at redrivercrossroadshistorical.org.
