Traditional pancake breakfasts, taffy on snow, horse-drawn wagon rides, sugarbush tours… When you think of Canada, you think maple syrup.
An age-old tradition, the process of making maple syrup was invented by the First Nations people, who used it both as food and medicine. Today, it’s widespread use in cooking can enhance any breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert recipe.
But did you know that sugar maples are only found in select regions across Canada? Lucky for us, cottage country hosts a large expanse of them.
This means you can explore a world of fun by tapping into nature with a day-trip-worthy excursion to the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival during March Break!
With four locations to choose from, bring the whole family to enjoy a tour of the sugarbush as you learn about the history of maple syrup production, participate in outdoor demonstrations, listen to live entertainment… and devour pancakes with real maple syrup, of course!
Buy your tickets online and receive unlimited general admission to all four festival locations, including Bruce’s Mill, Kortright Centre, Terra Cotta and Island Lake. Hours and days vary at each location, so check out the event website at www.maplesyrupfest.com for full details.
