The Famous Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival
Celebrate Spring
Come celebrate spring in the scenic and beautiful Northumberhills. There is no finer sound to the ear
than the soft crystal granular crunch of snow underfoot with the familiar aroma of the home fire smell
of burning wood intermingled with the unforgettable mouth watering sweet scent of natures tree
nectar lingering in the air. Spring has arrived at Sandy Flats Sugar Bush and the Maple Syrup is here.
Enjoy the famous Maple Syrup Festival held near Warkworth Ontario. Come and see the sights and sounds and aromas of Maple Syrup making at its best.
Fresh Maple Syrup
Fresh maple syrup is truly one of the first signs of spring. And what better way to celebrate than to attend the Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival. Each year the community marks the coming of spring with a fun-filled family weekend with events to enjoy both at Sandy Flat Sugar Bush and the Village of Warkworth in Ontario, Canada. In recent years the maple syrup festival has attracted a wide range of visitors from all over Ontario and even Canada and the world.
All of the events and attractions that have made this fun and tasty event so popular will be here. Sandy Flat Sugar Bush highlights include horse drawn sleigh rides, maple syrup demonstrations, free taffy on snow, tours, a log-sawing contest, snowshoe races, plank races, step, clog and old-time square dancing, nature trail walks, live old-tyme music and more. And of course a trip to the sugarbush wouldn't be complete without the taste of fresh 'hot-off-the grill' pancakes and sausages smothered in our local award winning maple syrup. Enjoy this treat served by the Warkworth Community Service Club, which uses all the proceeds to support dozens of local community organizations. Come back in July for 'The Biggest and Best Rodeo in Eastern Ontario'. Come and feel the excitement! Warkworth Western Weekend Rodeo.
Also take in the many events in the Village of Warkworth that run throughout the festival weekend: Antique Show, The Festival Craft Show, Art at the Festival Show & Sale, Seniors Tea & White Elephant Sale, Petting Zoo and Pony Rides.
A shuttle bus will be available to transport visitors back and forth between Sandy Flat and the village. For further information including schedule and admission prices, see Festivities.
