Maple syrup festival - Kortridge

The Maple Syrup festival season is almost wrapping up. Let’s welcome spring with a relaxed afternoon at Kortright Centre for Conservation and enjoy the maple syrup festival together!

We’ll meet around 12:15 and start at 12:30 pm to avoid the busy morning crowds and ease into a cozy day in the sugar bush. We can grab lunch there (fresh pancakes with maple syrup 🥞🍁 always a good idea), then explore the scenic forest trails, watch maple syrup demonstrations, and enjoy the crisp spring air.

Expect a laid-back vibe, beautiful nature, sweet treats, and great company — perfect for a fun adults day out.

Plan (flexible):
• 12:30 pm – Arrive & grab lunch / hot drinks
• Maple syrup demonstrations 🍁
• Scenic forest walk 🌲
• Wagon ride 🐎
• Maple goodies & gift shop stop

We’re timing it this way so we can enjoy everything without the morning rush, while still making the most of the festival atmosphere.

Costs:
• Festival ticket required (~12 + tax)
• Parking~ 6 per car (can split)
• Food optional based on what you’d like to try
