The fields at Dancing Grain Farm Brewery are bursting into bloom as the brewery hosts its annual Sunflower Festival every weekend in September. This late-summer tradition pairs acres of sunflowers with farm-brewed beer, live music, food trucks, and family-friendly fun—one of the season’s most anticipated events in Saratoga County.

Festival Highlights

Wander through breathtaking sunflower fields, sip Dancing Grain’s signature brews, and browse a marketplace of local artisans and vendors. Families will find plenty for kids to do, while friends and couples can capture unforgettable photos among the blooms.

“This festival is more than just a day in the flowers—it’s about bringing people together,” said brewery founder Rachel McDermott. “We love seeing families, friends, and visitors from across the region come out to celebrate the beauty of the farm and the flavors of our beer.”
