Welcome! to the Lithopolis Honeyfest

Our mission is to celebrate National Honey Month and Lithopolis Honeyfest Day in Ohio, experience the science and art of apiculture (beekeeping), and create a robust atmosphere of art, music, food, fun and people.

We have the involvement of honey beekeeping trade associations and see this event as a component in preserving apiculture, not just in Ohio, but nationwide and globally.

The Honeyfest is held in the Village of Lithopolis, on the picturesque grounds of The Wagnalls Memorial. Lithopolis is located in central Ohio only 20 minutes southeast of Columbus, Ohio's capital.

We invite you to join us for a full day of live entertainment, juried arts, kids crafts in the Busy Beehive, photography contest, Honey Cook-Off and sale, bee beards, honey, honey tasting, honey extraction, beekeepers, hive products, observation hives, educational displays, and delicious honey made food.
