Unfortunately our facility will  be closed to the public for the 2020 season and all of our regular events have been postponed to 2021. As we navigate through this new chapter we will be making the most of the situation. Over the next few months we will be dedicating time towards making our museum and gift shops' entire collection accessible online. As the warmer months approach we look forward to sharing some of our other ongoing community projects via social media, follow along with us as we adapt and grow!  facebook.com/AvonRiverHeritage

Normally held the second Saturday in September, the Honey Harvest Festival is intended to promote and support local beekeepers and businesses, while educating the public about beekeeping practices and products.

Due to COVID this year's event will be held virtually, showcasing past vendors and their honey and bee related products online via our facebook page and in person at our booth at Avondale Sky Winery, where you'll find us every weekend in September to celebrate all of the wonderful community events we've missed out this past season. Featuring different garlic vendors each week and performances from the Full Circle Festival every Saturday afternoon between 1 & 3 in the gazebo.

Visit us at our booth at Avondale Sky Winery during their weekly
Pop-Up Markets, every Sat & Sun in September, 11am - 5pm.

A look back to our very first Honey Harvest Festival, held on September 10th in 2016


Le festival Honey Harvest vise à promouvoir et à soutenir les apiculteurs locaux et les entreprises vertes, tout en sensibilisant le public sur les pratiques et les produits apicoles.

Joignez-vous à nous dans le chantier naval Avon Spirit, situé le long du front de mer historique de Newport Landing, pour rencontrer les apiculteurs, les artisans, les vignobles et les brasseurs locaux. Renseignez-vous sur les meilleures pratiques pour soutenir les ruches saines et choisissez la reine des abeilles dans une ruche de démonstration. Le Lydia et Sally Café seront de nouveau à servir un menu inspiré du miel, alors apportez votre appétit et rejoignez-nous comme nous célébrons nos polinisateurs préférés!

Cet événement est gratuit pour le public et il n'ya pas de frais pour le stationnement ou l'entrée.

Les vendeurs intéressés peuvent nous contacter à infoavonriver@gmail.com ou appeler au (902) 757-1718 (mai-octobre)
