Blue Hills Maple Sugar Days Festival 2018 at Brookwood Farm Canton MA
The Maple Sugar Days Festival will be held on Saturday March 24th and Sunday March 25th at Brookwood Farm in Canton MA. It sugarin’ time in the Blue Hills! Join Trailside and the Massachusetts DCR as we continue a more than 20-year-old tradition of making maple syrup at Brookwood Farm in the Blue Hills Reservation
Discover how people learned to get sugar from a tree as you take a walk down “Maple Lane” to meet people who share the maple story and who help you handle and use sugar making tools. Smell the wood smoke as you watch clouds of steam rise from bubbling sap cooking into syrup in the sugar house. And get a taste of real maple!
Activities include games for children, a warming bonfire, and horse-drawn wagon rides ($3/person). Skilled artisans will demonstrate traditional, hand-powered crafts. Grab a bite to eat from a food truck, then purchase some locally-produced maple syrup.
