The annual LaFayette Honeybee Festival is set for Saturday, May 30, 2026, in downtown LaFayette, Georgia, bringing a full day of entertainment, educational activities, food, and family fun to Northwest Georgia.

The free, rain-or-shine festival celebrates the importance of honeybees and pollinators while showcasing local music, vendors, contests, and community activities. Festival events will run from 9 AM until 11 PM, with special “Honeybee Eve” activities planned for Friday night.

One of the biggest attractions will be live music performances at the Pigeon Mountain Trading Company Main Stage beginning at 5 PM. Country music group The Band Perry will headline the festival at 9:30 PM, with performances also scheduled by Channing Wilson, Shane Profitt, and Robby Hopkins throughout the evening.

Families can enjoy the Free Kids Zone at Joe Stock Park from 9 AM until 5 PM featuring bounce houses, pony rides, a petting zoo, and jugglers.

The festival will also include a classic car show hosted by American Legion Post 339, hands-on pollinator demonstrations inside the Honeybee Education Pavilion, and several competitions including a barbecue contest, baking contest, honey show, and the Honeybee Pageant.

Festival organizers say the event continues to grow each year as one of Northwest Georgia’s premier community festivals.
