Blue Hills Maple Sugar Days Festival 2019 at Brookwood Farm Canton MA
The Maple Sugar Days Festival will be held on Saturday March 23rd and Sunday March 24th 10-4pm 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!
