Maple Festival

Maple Festival 

Maple syrup is often associated with Canada. Canada has been a leading producer of this liquid ever since the aboriginal people first taught the settlers how to tap the maple trees and boil the sap. It has become a large part in Canadian culture and Canada is known for maple syrup. There are many festivals and activities that take place in different parts of Canada dedicated to maple syrup, the one I'll be talking about in today's post is the Maple Syrup Festival at Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Ontario.

Every year on the first weekend in March is when the park's annual Maple Syrup Festival gets started. The park is open from 9:30am - 3pm every weekend in March and every day during March break. The Bronte Creek Maple Festival offers plenty of activities that can be the start of a truly Canadian tradition!

At the festival, guided tours of Maple Lane where 1890's costumed interpreters show how maple syrup and maple sugar is made is available for visitors as well as other attractions. There is also a maple museum and the option to tour the 100-year-old Spruce Lane Farmhouse!
