From The Blog Everything you need to know about Maple Madness 2019

March 23-24, 2019

The maple sugaring season is upon us! As the sun shines bright, temperatures rise, sap begins to flow, and Woodstock prepares for the sweetest time of the year. We’re celebrating everything maple all weekend long with activities for the entire family – from sweet treats to hand-painted sap buckets, a parade, demonstrations, a live raptor show, crafts, and more!

All weekend long

  • Shopping: Local shops will feature regional maple products of the highest caliber, including Linda’s Maple Fudge available at the Village Butcher
  • Dining: Stop into downtown restaurants for maple specialties including wings, cocktails, pizzas, and more
  • Maple Open House Weekend 2019: This is the one time a year you can step inside a sugarhouse as the sap is bubbling away – and enjoy warm welcomes from hosts, samples, demonstrations, Q&As, snowshoe tours, and more! Don’t miss this chance to visit Woodstock’s three participating sugarhouses at Elm Grove Farm (on scenic Cloudland Road), Sugarbush Farm, and Bourdon Maple Farm.
