On May 20 – rain or shine – vendors, organizations and visitors from around the country will gather in Wewahitchka’s Lake Alice Park for the 2023 Tupelo Honey Festival.

The event, an annual celebration of the area’s famous tupelo honey and those who produce it, draws large crowds every year, according to festival organizers.

The festival will run from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. CDT. Admission is free and open to the public. 

Visitors will enjoy a variety of food options, live music, family-friendly activities and booths from local organizations, vendors and beekeepers.

This year’s festival will also feature live demonstrations from a blacksmith and a knapper.

The event is sponsored by the Wewahitchka Employees Club and the City of Wewahitchka.
