Celebrating honey and bees for nearly 50 years, this event is well suited for August—when the distinctively flavored, amber-hued sourwood honey is prime for harvesting. Sourwood trees grow predominantly in WNC and the Georgia highlands, making this festival quite inherent to the area. Expect music venues, a kids’ area, honey hawkers, beekeepers, food trucks, crafts, and more. » Downtown; Friday & Saturday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; free; (828) 669-2300; www.exploreblackmountain.com
