Purple Woods Maple Syrup Festival

Come out and experience a Canadian spring in our sugarbush!  Sap collected from over 800 Sugar Maple Trees is boiled on site into delicious maple syrup.  Visit our modern evaporator and enjoy fireside demonstrations, horse drawn wagon rides, games, activities, and of course, pancakes with real maple syrup.  Don't forget to stop by our Heritage Store to purchase some maple treats to take home!
