Maple Sugar Festival

A man with a child tapping a tree for maple syrup

March 2, 2025                                               12 pm – 4 pm 
Fort Hunter Mansion and Park                  Free 

Join us at our annual Maple Sugar Festival for a fun day filled with sweet treats! Families can taste a variety of maple syrups, see how maple candies are made, practice tapping trees, make colorful crafts, and much more. Admission to the festival is free. 

For about six weeks nature cooks up its own sweet delights within sugar maple trees as the sap begins to flow, ready to be tapped for making sugar and syrup. The weather needs a combination of below-freezing temperatures at night and above-freezing temperatures during the day that causes the maple sap to flow.

Delicious PA maple products are available for sale.
