Maple Syrup Festivals


Spring is in the air, March 20th was the first day of spring! With the arrival of Spring Equinox comes the running of the sap, that means maple syrup festivals will be taking place across the Bruce!

We have 2 major ones in the Bruce and 1 which takes place just outside the Bruce:

March 22nd is the Purple Valley Maple Syrup Festival it takes place at the Community Centre.

March 29-30th is the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authorities Old-Time Maple Syrup Festival it takes places at Saugeen Bluffs 8 km N of Paisley.

April 10 & 12th is Belmore's 41st Annual Maple Syrup Festival and it takes place at the Community Centre.

So bundle up the kids, your family and bring along some friends to take in the festivities, it maybe muddy so wear proper foot wear!
