The fields of Plant City are glowing in shades of gold and orange as Festival de Cempasúchil returns to Sánchez Farms Santa Maria, located at 1390 South Forbes Road. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through November 2, this free festival celebrates the marigold flower, a symbol of remembrance and a key part of Día de los Muertos traditions.
This is your final weekend to experience these beautiful marigolds, so we highly recommend you make plans to visit.
Visitors can stroll through the fields, snap photos among the blooms, and purchase freshly cut marigolds prepared by farm staff. While this isn’t a U-pick experience, guests can explore the fields and shop for flowers under the main tent.
One of the most beautiful festivals in Florida
