ABOUT
The mission of the Philadelphia Honey Festival is to raise awareness about the importance of honey bees to our environment, our food supply and our economy, and to promote urban beekeeping and gardening.
All festival events are free.
SCHEDULE
The Honey Festival events are promotional in nature. Events involve honey tasting, live bees in an observation hive, and shameless promotions of honey.
CONTEST
Enter Bartram's Garden's Cooking with Honey Contest! The contest is free and open to all. All entrants may pick up a free 8 oz. jar of Bartram's Garden Wildflower Honey to use (note: it cannot be delivered).
MEAD
Homebrewers of all skill levels, who have a batch of mead or a honey-beer ready – share the results of your labors with other homebrewers. You can only taste homebrews if you bring your own homebrew.
SPONSORS
Food and Beverage sponsors have an excellent opportunity to feature their products at one or more venues during the Honey Festival.
VENDORS
Vendors of honey and other hive products are highly encouraged to sell their wares at the annual Philadelphia Honey Festival.
