Honey Festival · August 16–17, 2031 · Manhattan, Kansas
Manhattan — the Riley County city at the heart of the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie that hosts Kansas State University and borders the Konza Prairie Biological Station, one of North America's largest intact tallgrass prairie preserves — is surrounded by a landscape of native sunflower, sweet clover, alfalfa, prairie clover, and goldenrod that supports exceptional honey production at the crossroads of the tallgrass and mixed-grass prairie ecotones. This August festival in City Park celebrates the Flint Hills' extraordinary biodiversity and Kansas's deep agricultural heritage, featuring honey from Flint Hills producers who harvest distinctive prairie-terroir varietals from apiaries set among the rolling limestone ridges and bur oak groves, guided prairie hikes through Konza's research grasslands, educational presentations on the ecological role of native bees in tallgrass prairie pollination, and live music celebrating Kansas's rich tradition of small-farm community culture.
