2nd Annual Cleveland Honeybee Festival Saturday - June 13 11 AM - 7 PM
It's all the buzz . . .
What is the Cleveland Honeybee Festival?
The Cleveland Honeybee Festival is a joyful celebration of honeybees, native pollinators, and community—organized by the Cleveland Honeybee Festival Committee, with all Education & Pollinator Experiences led by the Ocoee Region Beekeepers Association (ORBA) in partnership with Bee City USA–Cleveland, TN.
Join us around Johnston Park and the surrounding streets in downtown Cleveland for a fun-filled, family-friendly day of learning, exploring, shopping, music, food, and hands-on pollinator education. Admission is FREE, and everyone is invited to “BEE” part of this sweet community tradition!
Honeybees and other pollinators play a vital role in maintaining a balanced environment and a thriving community. When they flourish, so does Cleveland. As Bee City USA–Cleveland, Tennessee (2023), we are committed to shining a light on the importance of protecting honeybees and all pollinators. Together with the Ocoee Region Beekeepers Association, we work to educate, inspire, and empower our city—recognizing that the health of our pollinators reflects the health of our community.
In every thriving hive, each bee contributes to the strength of the whole. Cleveland is no different—our city’s strength comes from the people who call this place home. So, who carries the heart of our hive? Our community: our families, our neighbors, our businesses, our schools, and the future we’re building together.
The Cleveland Honeybee Festival celebrates this spirit of unity. It kicks off National Pollinator Week and it's a joyful way to “Bee” a positive force in our City with Spirit—bringing together conservation, creativity, education, and community pride.
