Maple Syrup Festivals in Canada Spring 2015

Do you have plans for coming Easter weekend?  One of my friends' family is going to a Maple Festival.  Quebec and Ontario are the biggest producers of maple syrup in Canada.  New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have many maple syrup farms, too. During spring, many maple syrup producers open doors to visitors.  Depends on how you want to call it, there would be Maple Festivals, Maple Syrup Festivals, Maple Sugar Festivals, Sugar Shacks or Cabane à Sucre around your area.

Spring is the time to tickle our tastebuds with maple delights!  But, this long winter slows maple syrup production especially in the Maritimes.  Please call ahead or check their websites before heading out to any festivals of your choice.  Have fun!
