Sunflower Trail & Festival

Expand

The Annual Sunflower Trail and Festival brings art and entertainment to the grounds of the Red River Crossroads Museum. That means 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 and so on. Food and refreshment vendors are on-site, or you could visit one of several local favorites like Main Street Restaurant or Adger’s Store in Gilliam, or The Wild Petunia. New this year: a sunflower trail treasure hunt!

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 or the Sunflower Trail & Festival Facebook Page.
