Type: Honey Festival
Alexandria — the Rapides Parish 'Crossroads' city at the geographic heart of Louisiana, where the Red River valley, the rolling longleaf pine hills of the Kisatchie National Forest, and the transition between coastal plain and upland Louisiana create an exceptionally diverse honey-producing landscape of tallow tree, gallberry, cotton blossom, longleaf pine wildflower, white clover, and native Kisatchie woodland blossom — in a community renowned for its position as Louisiana's central hub, its proximity to the 604,000-acre Kisatchie National Forest (Louisiana's only national forest), and its deep cultural connection to the state's Creole, Cajun, and Indigenous heritage — is home to a vibrant beekeeping community that bridges Louisiana's coastal honey traditions with the distinctive upland flora of the Kisatchie highlands. This April festival at Bringhurst Park celebrates Rapides Parish's honey heritage through producers from across central Louisiana's Rapides, Grant, Vernon, and Avoyelles parishes, competitive honey shows featuring regional tallow tree, gallberry, cotton blossom, and Kisatchie wildflower honey, guided tastings pairing Alexandria-area honey with central Louisiana's distinctive Creole cuisine, educational programs on the Kisatchie National Forest's critical role in supporting central Louisiana's pollinator populations, and demonstrations connecting the Red River valley's agricultural traditions with the beekeeping heritage of Louisiana's geographic heart.
