Maple Syrup Festival at Bronte Creek Provincial Park

Fresh Ontario maple syrup begins flowing at Bronte Creek Provincial Park on the first Saturday in March when the park's annual Maple Syrup Festival gets underway. The maple syrup festivities are open to the public from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm every weekend in March and March Break. Enjoy a guided tour of Maple Lane, where interpreters costumed for the 1890s demonstrate different historical ways of collecting and making maple syrup. The tour ends in the middle of Spruce Lane Farm where you can learn how to make fresh maple sugar or enjoy a stick of delicious maple taffy before visiting the various farm animals in the yard. ------ HIGHLIGHTS ------ - Join us for Springtime on the Farm and celebrate the arrival of Spring like a Victorian! - Visit the family activity center where kids can have fun and play lots of exciting games. - Make sure you don't miss Spruce Lane Farmhouse, a living history museum that recreates life from 1899. - Be sure to browse through the maple products and souvenirs available in the Maple Gift Shop and purchase a bottle of syrup to take home. - And what's a Maple Syrup Festival without a pancake meal?
