Still going strong decades after local honeybee advocate Brady Mullinax’s efforts led to its creation, it’s once again Honeybee Festival time in Kernersville.

The honey-flavored fun kicks off Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and last until 5:00 p.m. at Fourth of July Park, 702 West Mountain Street.

In addition to more than 130 vendors and food trucks, the activities on tap this year include a train ride around the park, gem-mining, face painting, a live DJ, and a “cuddle buddies” station where kids can build their own stuffed animals.

With temperatures expected to creep pretty high into the 80s by Saturday afternoon, a misting tent will help visitors cool off and keep on shopping.
