WHAT’S HAPPENING With August comes the fleeting days of summer. The good news? There are countless ways to make the most of this warm and sunny month (see: amazing events listed below!), including a favourite seasonal destination – the Edmonton Corn Maze. In addition to the always fun maze adventure and on-site farm market, one of the highlight activities here is the chance to wander through the beautiful sunflower fields. Blooming from mid-August to mid-September, you won’t want to miss your chance to see these cheery flowers up close and basking in the sunshine. Plus, taking home a bunch of bright blooms is also an option here, with U-Pick sunflowers available for $1 a stem. Get all the details, including hours and tickets, at edmontoncornmaze.ca
