Visitors to the Festival will be able to compare maple syrup production methods from over 400 years ago through the modern methods of today.  With many special features, there is something for the entire family.  Horse-drawn wagon rides will be operating by the Sugar Shack.

Do you have a sweet tooth?  The Sugar Store will be open daily for visitors to purchase maple syrup and maple products. Visit the Sugar Store. To help the enivronment visitors are asked to please bring their own bags to carry their purchases.

A visit to the Festival would not be complete without enjoying a stack of hot delicious pancakes covered in 100% pure maple syrup.  Pancakes will be served daily from 10:00am – 2:30pm with the proceeds going to not-for-profit organizations. (The public is asked to help reduce garbage by bringing reusable plates and utensils.  Paper plates and plastic utensils will be available.)
