Sierra Nevada Lavender & Honey Festival
Have a scent-sational time at the Sierra Nevada Lavender & Honey Festival! This free, family-friendly annual event celebrates all things lavender and honey, straight from the fields and hives of local and regional growers and beekeepers.
There are lavender festivals, and there are honey festivals, but this just might be the only lavender and honey festival in the world. It’s free and located right here in Reno.
Family-friendly and free to attend, the Sierra Nevada Lavender & Honey Festival is the perfect excuse to spend a summer day getting acquainted with local honey producers, lavender farmers, and the community organizations that support them.
Head to scenic and shady Idlewild Park in Reno for a day of crafts, foodie finds, shopping, and more. Live entertainment includes both music and theater performances, along with judging for the lavender bonnet and honey hat contest. The Busy Bee Family Zone offers demonstrations and educational exhibits, plus postcards to color and dancing.
One note before you go: The festival asks that pets stay home—hot summer asphalt and festival crowds aren’t comfortable for them. Service animals are always welcome.
