In each, you may find maple history, live music, vendors, food, bonfires, hands-on activities, storytelling…its outdoor fun for the whole family! Join us for a delightful experience at our Nature Center and Historic Village, where you can explore the maple sugaring process, enjoy seasonal storytelling, participate in hands-on activities like tree-tapping and candle making, savor delicious maple-themed foods, and shop from a variety of local vendors while listening to live music under the festival tent.
Join us for our 47th annual Maple Sugaring Weekends during the last two weekends in March. Enjoy a locally-sourced pancake breakfast before heading outside for tapping and boiling demonstrations on the trail.
March 29-30 and April 5-6 at the Hart Theatre at the JCC: A modern adaptation of the long-haired princess and her climbing suitor, hilariously written by the creators of Friends and Veronica’s Closet.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we’re bringing this comedic show that launched TYKEs two decades ago — one of our favorite shows of all time — to a new generation of audience members! Ages 4+
