Destination SunFest

Dorthea Dix Park
Dix Park Saturday, July 13th 2pm-9pm. Free event.

To reduce the impact on Dorothea Dix Park and its neighbors they have decided to combine two upcoming events into one SUNsational celebration… Destination SunFest at Dix Park on Saturday, July 13! Please update your calendar and plan to join them on July 13 for all the fun… and sunflowers.

To celebrate the completion of the Master Plan for Dorothea Dix Park and welcome the community to enjoy our amazing sunflower field, we invite you to join us for a family-friendly festival spectacular. Enjoy food and drinks, live entertainment and fun activities for kids and adults...and make sure to stick around until the end of the night for a special fireworks display! All rides, games, and activities at the event are FREE. See Full Event Details for a list of all activities, sunflower information, festival map, participating vendors and "Know Before You Go" information!
