Sun & Celosia
Gathering place & Flower Field
Welcome!
I'm Aubrey, and I started this quaint sunflower field late in the summer of 2023 hoping to bring a little sunshine to Billings. With the help of some amazing people this wild dream came true and I was able to host Billings' first ever Sunflower Festival! The response from the community blew me away and I'm so thankful to get to serve you for yet another season. Check out the festival this year; you're sure to find fun for the whole family!
September 13th 12pm-8pm & 14th 7am-8pm
Oh Yeah, it's happening. And if you missed it last year, it was awesome. To see a field of gold was magical, but perhaps the best part was seeing the coolest people in Billings there.
Within weeks of sunflowers bursting forth from this before empty field I knew what had to be done. This is too much beauty to keep to myself. So (what felt like) 150 phone calls later the field was busy around the clock with photographers working their magic with the most wonderful people and a festival was in the works. Let me tell you, to see the community come together to make this happen has blown. My. Mind.
Not everyone understood why people would come out to a field of flowers, and that's totally okay. But it quickly became clear who I was fighting for and all of my hard work had more than paid off. Man, we have such a beautiful community right here in Billings. And it was so good to see so many people come together.
I see a city full of people with a hunger for beauty and connection, and this was the place. It was a dream come true to provide the perfect place for connection and a place to sit back, enjoy some of the greatest food trucks ever, listen to some of the most talented (and personable) musicians, and soak in the late summer sunshine in a field of flowers. Families bonded over some pretty cool lawn games and couples took in the romantic atmosphere.
I have met some of the most genuine and kind-hearted people out at this field and I have fought another year to make this happen again. So we're back! Let's make 2024 another incredibly memorable year and get your tickets now!
Capture magical shots in the sunflower fields!
