Presented by the Maple in the County Maple Syrup Producers, and with support from The County of Prince Edward’s Community Development Department, this year’s event features participation from ten local sugar bushes and several wineries and restaurants. Programming includes a line-up of on-farm family-friendly activities including pancake breakfasts, sugar shack tours and demonstrations, taffy, wagonrides, lumberjack shows, maple products and more! In addition, several off-farm activities are planned, including:
