The Maple Festival was started in 1981 to promote maple syrup products in the area. It has always included a pancake breakfast all day with real maple syrup and real butter. There are maple demonstrations, sales of maple products, a large variety of entertainment, and many vendors. We also include a number of amusement rides for kids and adults and free entertainment.

This year’s grandstand shows include a country concert by Wilson Fairchild with Jack and Davis Reid (Saturday), the demolition derby (Saturday and Sunday), and the power wheels derby (Sunday).

Free entertainment includes the antique tractors, the macaroni and cheese cook-off, maple product judging, maple wine judging, a pancake eating contest, the goat show, a car show, and more.
