A Fairfield County main-street honey festival about 45 minutes south of downtown, with vendors, live demos, food trucks, and free shuttle parking from nearby church lots
Lithopolis Honeyfest turns downtown Lithopolis into a weekend about bees, honey, and small-town street energy. The 2026 edition ran Friday afternoon into Saturday evening after Labor Day, with nearly a hundred vendors, food trucks, live music, and educational demos that go beyond a gift-shop jar of honey.
Families come for the bee train, craft tables, and honey contests. Adults linger for mead samples, bake-off sales near Wagnalls Memorial Library, and a walkable layout that feels calmer than big Columbus festivals. The village even has a state-recognized Honeyfest Day tied to the event.
Use the free shuttle lots at Grace Fellowship and Bloom Baptist rather than hunting curb space downtown. The festival is pet-friendly and ADA-accessible. Bring cash backup for smaller vendors and plan a slow loop instead of a rush stop.
