Maple Sugar & Syrup events in Buffalo, Erie County, & the Niagara Region of Western New York

Maple Sugar Festival March 18-19 and March 25-26.

Each day from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors may try their hand at tapping a tree or see what it’s like to manage sap buckets on a shoulder yoke. The day includes self-guided walks to the nature center’s sugar bush, 19th-century maple sugaring over an open fire, modern syrup-making demonstrations, tastings and, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., a pancake breakfast with real maple syrup.
