\r\nAccording to the Festival’s\r\n\r\nhistory page<\/a>:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe Hahira Honeybee Festival was st\r\n<\/a>arted in 1981 by Mamie Sorrell\r\nand Adeline Landrum. These two ladies loved Hahira and had a vision\r\n“to liven up city” with a weekend of Arts & crafts , Entertainment,\r\nand a parade. The weekend festival has grown into a week long\r\nextravaganza. The festival is now known as one of the best in the\r\nSoutheast. The parade is touted as the best in South Georgia. It has\r\nbeen estimated that anywhere from 20,000 to 36,000 visitors come to\r\ntown for the parade and to walk the streets for arts & crafts, and\r\nlots of food. The City supports the festival each year with city\r\nservices and employees. This year, 2010, will be our 29th annual\r\nfestival. The current members work to carry on the legacy of Mamime\r\nand Adeline, to have fun and keep the festival a family oriented\r\n<\/a>\r\nevent. The Honey Bee Festival Members, known as the “Busy Bees” meet\r\nevery month from March to September to plan the festival. The\r\nmeetings are held at the Hahira Courthouse every 3rd Tuesday of each\r\nmonth at 7pm. We invite visitors and\/or volunteers to join us!\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
