Westmorland: Getting There, Honey Festival and City Amenities

Getting There and Getting Oriented

Westmorland is located on State Highway 86, a major highway and transportation corridor. The route from Interstate 8 to the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge goes through Westmorland on Forrester Road, then continues to the refuge via Gentry Road. For route planning, these are two separate reference points: Highway 86 characterizes the city’s location, while Forrester and Gentry are the specific sequence of roads to the refuge.

Honey Festival: Information by Edition

The Westmorland Honey Festival is a specific reference point for event-related travel. The Honey Festival was described in 2026 as its 20th annual edition. For that 20th edition, the parade lineup location was Little Citizens Park. The Westmorland Honey Festival program includes food vendors; offerings may vary by edition. If you’re planning your stay around the festival, check the date and program for the relevant edition in advance.

At the 20th annual edition of the Honey Run 5K, walkers, runners and people with strollers were welcome. Registered participants received a honey bear and a T-shirt at that edition. The participation guidelines and the benefit for registered participants answer different questions: which groups were welcome and what was tied to registration. If the run is important to your choice of dates, follow the guidelines for the relevant edition.

The 2024 Honey Festival program also included a Kid's Color Run. This program item relates to a different time period than the parade and Honey Run, whose details relate to the 20th annual edition. This distinction matters for planning: event details from different editions do not automatically make up a single program. Check the dates and activities for the edition that suits your trip.

City Park, Swimming Pool and Play Area

At least twelve community events are held each year at Westmorland City Park. A city statement from November 2025 gives this figure; event schedules may change. The year helps put the scale of the events program into context; for a specific visit, the relevant date matters.

According to city information from November 2025, the City of Westmorland owns and operates the only public swimming pool in the northern part of the county. If a visit to the pool is a factor in your stay, check current operating hours and access before you travel.

In November 2025, Little Citizen's Park was described as a secure play area for children and families. Conditions may change; check the play area before your visit.

Your travel plans may focus on different things: the road information helps with route selection, the festival and city park draw attention to the dates of specific editions or events, and operating hours and access are key for the swimming pool. First, decide which purpose will determine where you stay.
