Honey Festival · September 13–14, 2029 · Bardstown, Kentucky
The "Bourbon Capital of the World" celebrates its lesser-known but equally rich honey heritage at this September festival. Nelson County's beekeepers showcase the distinctive tulip poplar, white clover, black locust, and goldenrod honeys that share limestone karst terrain with world-famous bourbon distilleries. Honey and bourbon pairing masterclasses at historic Heaven Hill Distillery pair with My Old Kentucky Home State Park tours and traditional country ham tastings.
