Ever wonder how maple syrup goes from inside a maple tree to your pancakes and waffles? Join us at the Friends of MacKenzie Maple Fest to learn about the past and present of maple sugaring practices.

This sweet event will offer all things maple syrup, including various drop-in activities, guided tours of our sugarbush, demonstrations on how to tap a tree and interpretive talks about the historical methods and cultural importance of maple sugaring in Wisconsin. Gift shop, concessions and local Wisconsin maple syrup will be available. Quilt raffle drawing at noon.

This event is free and open to the public, and you do not need a state park sticker to attend.
