Mead Fest
Our Annual Mead Celebration in Pittsboro, NC!
We love celebrating Mead and think it’s a great excuse for a festival!
Join us the fourth Saturday in September each year for a special day celebrating the making, drinking and sharing of Mead! 2023’s Mead Fest will be Saturday, September 23th from 12-5 pm.
Hosted primarily outside Starrlight Mead at The Plant, this is one of our favorite celebrations and our biggest event of the year. Free, fun, and family-friendly - this is one you don't want to miss!
We have food trucks, sword fighting knights, Renaissance music, home mead making demonstrations, lots of arts and crafts vendors – including jewelry, critters, wood, and many more great items! Come in costume if you'd like, enjoy local food for purchase, mead tastings, and more.
Check out this year’s details to get an idea of what to expect when you come out!
“(At Mead Fest) I had mead for the first time in my life. I don’t like beer or wine, but I liked EVERY. SINGLE. ONE! Each flavor really shines through in each of the brews and it was overall a great experience.”
