Sunflower & Tomato Festival
Wesley Wells Farm | St. Augustine

Saturday
Indie Night

Catch live sets by Twin Suns (with members hailing from Jacksonville, Gainesville and beyond) and Gainesville-based Prizilla, plus tarot readings, flash tattoos (if you’re feeling brave) and plenty of room to dance it out with your besties.
