The Sunflower Festival Returns to The Earl Farm August 1-3 Blending Nature, Entertainment, and Purpose

A vibrant weekend of sunflowers, live music, family fun, and giving back—supporting local food pantries with every ticket sold

HOWELL, MI, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After four years of waiting, both the sunflowers and the Earl Farm Foundation Sunflower Festival are finally back, promising a spectacular summer
celebration. From August 1 through August 3, 2025, guests are invited to gather once again in the heart of Howell’s 60-acre sunflower fields for a weekend of music, nature, family fun, and charitable impact.

This ticketed event, marks the first Sunflower Festival since 2021, and organizers are planning a powerful weekend that blends nature, entertainment, and purpose. All proceeds from the festival support the Earl Farm Foundation’s mission to provide healthy ground beef protein to local food pantries. Since 2009, the Foundation has donated 94 cows—equivalent to over 44,000 pounds of beef—to families in need across the community.

“We’re thrilled to bring the festival back, and even more excited about the impact it will have,” said Brent Earl, Founder of the Earl Farm Foundation. “I want to accomplish two things at this year’s Sunflower Festival—one, raise as much funding as possible to convert into healthy beef protein for our families in need throughout the year, and two, have as many people as possible experience what it feels like to be immersed in a field of sunflowers.”
