2022 Helvetia Lavender Festival
Spend your day surrounded by the sights and smell of lavender. Lavender is a great backdrop for selfies with your friends or simply a calming landscape to observe the blooms. On top of the beauty of the flowers, you can partake in all the festival has to offer.
Activities at the festival include cutting your own lavender, watching lavender distillation workshops and wreath demonstrations, playing at the kids stations, perusing local artisan vendors and listening to live music.
If you’re interested in cutting your own bundle of lavender, the farm will provide you with baskets, scissors and twist ties. The cost is $8 per bundle. You can also buy a bundle of pre-cut lavender for $12.
Food items will also be available for purchase, including Nothing Bundt Cakes treats, lavender lemonade, ice tea and lemon lavender ice cream sandwiches.
