Kennewick — the Benton County city in Washington's Tri-Cities region where the Yakima, Snake, and Columbia Rivers converge in the heart of the Columbia Basin, one of the Pacific Northwest's most productive agricultural landscapes where irrigated orchards produce world-famous apples, cherries, and wine grapes alongside alfalfa fields, sweet clover, and diverse agricultural wildflower, with beekeepers providing the essential pollination services that sustain the region's agricultural economy while harvesting the distinctive apple blossom, cherry blossom, alfalfa, and high-desert sage honey that reflects the Columbia Basin's unique rain-shadow terroir — is home to a beekeeping community at the intersection of Pacific Northwest agriculture and high-desert ecology. This August festival at Columbia Park celebrates the Tri-Cities' exceptional role in Pacific Northwest honey production through producers from across Benton, Franklin, and Walla Walla counties, competitive honey shows featuring the region's distinctive apple blossom, cherry blossom, and Columbia Basin wildflower varietals, educational programs on the critical role of migratory beekeeping in pollinating the Pacific Northwest's orchard crops, guided tastings pairing local honey with Columbia Valley wines, local cherries, and artisan foods from the Tri-Cities' growing culinary scene, and presentations connecting the agricultural transformation of the Columbia Basin through irrigation with the ecological changes that shape local honey flavor profiles.
