Honey Festival · October 4–5, 2030 · Guilford, Connecticut
Guilford's historic town green — one of the largest and most beautiful in New England — anchors this fall harvest celebration in the heart of Connecticut's shoreline honey country. The Guilford area's mix of coastal wetlands, inland orchards, basswood forests, and late-season goldenrod and aster meadows yields a distinctive saltwater-influenced wildflower honey prized by Connecticut beekeepers. The festival brings together producers from New Haven and Middlesex counties for honey tastings, judging competitions, beeswax craft demonstrations, and a harvest market featuring Connecticut cheeses, apple cider, and artisan foods alongside local honey varietals.
