Oakes Daylilies festival blooming in Corryton this weekend

It's one of the most stunning events of the season, and it's going on this weekend out in Corryton.

Oakes Farm is hosting its 2019 Daylily Bloom Festival Friday and Saturday to display the beauty of one of East Tennessee's most beloved flowers.

The festival runs from 9 to 3 p.m. on June 28 and 29 at Oakes Daylilies' display garden at 8153 Monday Road in Corryton, Tenn.

More than 1000 varieties in all colors are in full bloom, covering more than 6 acres of the farm.

People can walk among the displays and take lots of beautiful pictures, enjoy music, have a couple of refreshments, and even enjoy lunch.

The event is free and all guests will receive a free daylily.

"Daylilies are a very easy plant to grow. A lot of folks, they're not aware of them, they're kind of a niche thing or whatever," owner Ken Oakes said. "So we like folks to come out and see what there is. A lot of folks buy a few, and the next year they buy a few more, and they become a daylily collector. It's a lot of fun!"

There is also a chance for guests to win a few prizes. You can find out more information on the farm's website.
