From the Organizer
Join us for the third annual Honey and Hops Mead Mile on Saturday, November 7th, 2026.
This year the Mead Mile will be benefiting Reaching Out Now, a local nonprofit whose goal is to provide the resources, support, and encouragement needed to help students thrive—whether in school, in their careers, or in life.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 so Reaching Out Now can add a counselor to the resources they have to benefit Front Royal students.
Make sure to stick around for the family-friendly Mead Mile Festival with live music, lots of local vendors, and food trucks.
