Honey Festival · October 11–12, 2031 · Fernandina Beach, Florida
Fernandina Beach — the Nassau County city on Amelia Island at the northernmost tip of Florida's Atlantic coast — occupies a barrier island landscape of maritime oak hammocks, salt marshes, and tidal creeks where beekeepers harvest uniquely coastal gallberry, titi blossom, saw palmetto, sea myrtle, goldenrod, and maritime wildflower honey from apiaries on the island and surrounding Nassau County mainland. This October festival at Atlantic Avenue Beach Park celebrates Nassau County's beekeeping heritage alongside the island's extraordinary eight-flag history as the most historically layered city in Florida, featuring honey from Amelia Island and northeast Florida producers, guided kayak tours of the Intracoastal Waterway tidal marshes showing the native forage plants that flavor Nassau County's distinctive coastal honeys, educational presentations on Florida's native stingless bees and their ecological role in Amelia Island's remaining maritime forest communities, and pairings of local honey with Nassau County's celebrated shrimping and fishing heritage.
