Maple festivals are community events that celebrate the harvest of maple syrup. Typically held in late winter to early spring, these festivals showcase the process of tapping maple trees and boiling sap to create syrup. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, demonstrations, and tastings of various maple products. In addition to syrup-making, maple festivals often feature local crafts, food vendors, and live entertainment. Families can participate in activities like sugar-on-snow and maple candy making. These festivals not only promote local agriculture but also provide a fun way for communities to come together and enjoy the sweetness of the season.
