Honey Market · September 20–21, 2029 · Galena, Illinois
In the preserved lead-mining town of Galena perched above the Mississippi River bluffs, this autumn market celebrates northwestern Illinois' rich honey heritage. Jo Daviess County beekeepers bring basswood, sweet clover, goldenrod, and Dutch white clover honeys from the Driftless Area's deeply carved valleys. Ulysses S. Grant historic home tours pair with artisan honey tastings and Galena's famous Victorian architecture walk.
