Honey Festival · November 8–9, 2030 · Crystal River, Florida
The Florida Nature Coast around Crystal River and Citrus County is one of Florida's most ecologically rich beekeeping regions — where saw palmetto flatwoods, gallberry bogs, tupelo swamps, and citrus groves along the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and Kings Bay create extraordinary native honey varietals. This late-fall festival at the Crystal River Archaeological State Park celebrates the region's honey producers alongside the area's manatee-watching heritage, featuring gallberry and saw palmetto honey tastings, guided paddling tours past riverside apiaries, oyster roasts pairing local seafood with Nature Coast honey, and demonstrations by Citrus and Levy County beekeeping associations.
