Honey Festival · August 9–10, 2031 · Medford, Oregon
Medford — the Jackson County city in the heart of the Rogue Valley, cradled between the Cascade Range and Siskiyou Mountains at 1,380 feet elevation, where some of Oregon's most distinctive varietal honeys are produced from the extraordinary combination of pear orchard blossom, blackberry bloom, meadowfoam fields, star thistle, and diverse Rogue Valley wildflower that fills the region's uniquely Mediterranean climate with pollen-rich forage from February pear bloom through October goldenrod — is home to a thriving beekeeping community in one of the Pacific Northwest's most productive honey landscapes. This August festival at Hawthorne Park in Medford's vibrant downtown celebrates the Rogue Valley's remarkable honey diversity through producers from across Jackson and Josephine counties, competitive honey shows featuring Oregon's prized pear blossom varietal alongside meadowfoam, blackberry, and mixed wildflower classes, educational demonstrations on how Rogue Valley's unique terroir of volcanic soil, maritime air, and Mediterranean summers creates distinctive flavor profiles, guided tastings pairing local honey with Rogue Valley pears and Crater Lake area cheeses, and presentations connecting Southern Oregon's agricultural heritage with the science of modern sustainable beekeeping practice.
