The festival attracts thousands of visitors annually to Kortright Centre for Conservation in Vaughan to celebrate the flowing of sap and the making of pure maple syrup; a truly Canadian tradition. Festival goers will discover the magic of traditional and modern maple syrup production while enjoying live entertainment, maple syrup walks, samples, children’s activities, horse-drawn wagon rides, a visit to the Sugarbush Shop and pancakes with pure maple syrup.
The festival takes place at Kortright, as well as Bruce’s Mill Conservation Area in Stouffville. Both locations will be open daily during March break with activities for families looking for fun outdoor activities.
Kortright will host a special Maple Syrup by Lamplight evening March 22 at 7:30 p.m. This special evening begins with a guided twilight tour of the maple sugar bush, including a visit to the sugar shack and learning about old fashioned and modern methods of maple syrup production.
Advance tickets are required. The cost will be $12 for adults ($10 for members) $6 for children and seniors ($5 for members) and $30 for families. To purchase tickets, call 416-667-6295.
