Maple Fest 2026

Maple sugaring is a time-honored tradition with roots that go beyond recorded history. At its heart, maple sugaring is community. It’s a celebration with friends and family, a festive farewell to long winter days and a look toward the coming spring.

Join us as we take a walk back through time and honor the traditions of long ago while learning new and exciting discoveries about the future of this uniquely North American treat! Enjoy a traditional pancake breakfast with friends old and new. Stop by a living history-style Colonial sugar bush to learn the important history behind this delicious treat and try all-new hands-on activities the whole family will enjoy. Whether you've attended Mount Hope Maple Madness every year, or this will be your first time, the 2026 Maple Fest will immerse you in the history, culture, science, and FUN of this unique local tradition.
