There will be something sweet for foodies, green-living experts, nature lovers, youngsters, and even surfer dudes. Tomorrow, the fourth annual NYC Honey Fest will bring everything from monofloral honey to honey-infused desserts to beeswax-based cosmetics to the Rockaways. The daylong festival will include a bee-themed parade, a savory contest organized by the American Honey Tasting Society (submit form here), live music, film, a variety of food options, and children-friendly activities, such as hive-making and face-painting. More information and photos after the jump.

First, the bee marketplace. More than two dozen vendors will set up tables and tents to sample, sell, and share their bee- and honey-related products and services.

Then there are the other types of fun. Activity providers will include NYC Beekeepers AssociationNYC FacepaintCity Growers and its bee-costume making; Arts In Parts with an interactive booth about the honeybees’ role in pollination; and a Rockaway Summer photo booth.
