This year’s festival will take place September 8th, 10th, & 11th at three separate venues. The best part is the festival is free. However, a suggested donation is asked at participating venues.

Guests can also participate in lawn games as they enjoy their treats. The Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild will host multiple activities like honey extractions and a bee beard demonstration.
The festival then continues on September 10th at Wyck Historic House, Garden & Farm (6026 Germantown Ave.). Activities will include cider pressing, a honey extraction workshop, bee beard, hive talks, as well as The Beer and Mead Tent located in the Rose Garden.
