Maple Sugar Festival this Sunday at Fort Hunter!

Join the fun from 12p - 4p

March 2, 2023

Head to Fort Hunter this weekend for the annual Maple Sugar Festival!

For about six weeks nature cooks up its own sweet delights within sugar maple trees as the sap begins to flow, ready to be tapped for making sugar and syrup. The weather needs a combination of below freezing temperatures at night and above freezing temperatures during the day that causes the maple sap to flow.


A fun-filled day of activities for the whole family to enjoy together. 

  • Discover the mysteries of maple sugar making 
  • Taste test maple syrup 
  • Learn about Native American sugar making and tree tapping 
  • Participate in children’s activities & more  
  • Pennsylvania maple products will be for sale at the event!
