Post 260: Bee Festival Saturday, June 25, 2022

Bee Festival Saturday, June 25, 2022

The second annual Bee Festival took place Saturday, June 25, 2022 on the grounds of the Liberia House in Manassas, Virginia. The Manassas Art Guild (MAG) had 2 tents up and the members enjoyed the day having their art up to be seen by the many visitors.

"Save the bees + pollinators. Plant native! Dress like a pollinator. Costume parade, waggle dance, Food, mead, music, farm animals and more! Presented by: City of Manassas Beautification Committee" - From the Prince William Chamber of Commerce

Bee Day in Images…

The real stars of the show - the actual bee hives on the Liberia House grounds. Also note the artwork on the bee hives...I admire the folks in Manassas for their fantastic creativity and work at making the arts such an important part of their communities in everyday life at every opportunity.

Landing pad

Mini horses, goats, a big rabbit, a pig, chickens and more

So many dogs! Unofficial dog show in progress...big ones and wee hot dogs

Liberia House was built in 1825, and once had a very famous visitor

A beautiful day in June in a fantastic setting, the Bee Festival was a fun day! Made even better when wearing bee antennae!
