Sierra Nevada Lavender & Honey Festival
Have a scent-sational time at the Sierra Nevada Lavender & Honey Festival! This annual event features all things lavender and honey, produced by local and regional growers and beekeepers.
There are lavender festivals, and there are honey festivals, but this might be the only lavender and honey festival in the United States—and maybe the world.
Family-friendly and free to attend, this event is the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with local honey producers, lavender farmers, and the community organizations that support or work alongside them. Bring the whole family 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.
The Sierra Nevada Lavender & Honey Festival asks to please leave your pets at home, as the hot summer asphalt can burn their paws and street festivals are often loud and crowded. Only service animals are allowed at the festival.
