TMTE has teamed up with Kalbar Sunflower Festival to offer multiple tours during the course of the weekend. These packages will include general admission tickets to the festival, return transport, plus VIP parking to make your trip to Kalbar as enjoyable & stress free as possible.
Tour Packages
General Admission + Transport
General Admission tickets will give you full day access to the Kalbar Sunflower Festival, where you can enjoy acres of beautiful blooms, food and drink stalls, free entertainment, markets, plus a plethora of additional workshops and rides which you can add to your experience. Tickets also include return transport in an air-conditioned bus, plus VIP parking and easy access into the festival.
If you’re thinking about bringing the kids along, there will be plenty of fun things for them to do too! Think face painting, mazes, bubbles, painting, craft and a children’s fairy garden to delight the little sunflowers in your life.
Return Transport: Transport to the festival will be in our 12 or 22 seater bus, with bottled water available on the bus.
FACILITIES
There will be shade pavilions set up with seating on hay bales available. Food and drink are available to purchase through our many vendors onsite, or you’re welcome to BYO food & drink (no BYO alcohol is permitted). There will be a water refill station at the festival. We will also have market stalls with a wide variety of items to be purchased including sunflower themed handmade goods and fresh produce. There will be free live entertainment and plenty of free kids activities to enjoy on the day.
Accessibility: The wheelchair friendly purpose built track will be back again for 2025, which allows visitors who have mobility issues to roam through the sunflower fields. Kalbar Sunflower Festival will also be offering designated buggy rides into the fields as well. These will give you the opportunity to take some close up photographs of the beautiful sunflowers.

Our tickets are inclusive of transport & VIP parking. All ticket holders must enter the festival with your tour guide representative. If you need to self drive, we have added a meeting point at Kalbar Showgrounds, where you can board the bus to enter the festival with the group. We can then take you back to your car when you’re ready (as long it’s prior to the bus departure time).
TMTE will be providing transport tickets (which includes entry to the festival) for a limited time only or until tickets are sold out. Once we have secured your booking, you will be sent an email confirmation from Tash Maree Tours & Events which will secure your spot on the bus and your name will be added to the guest list . This is not a festival ticket & will not be valid at the festival gates. Your tour guide will have a group pass for you to enter the festival on your selected date.
For festival entry tickets (self-drive option), please keep an eye on Kalbar Sunflowers for their ticket release date, which is expected around late March to early April. Please note that once their ticket sales open, our pre-organised tour tickets will no longer be available for purchase.
