Sugar, Sugar: Maple Syrup Events
Feb. 22, 2025
NOTE: Sleeping Bear Dunes has rescheduled their Maple Sugaring Days, postponing until March 22 due to "depth of snow, expected melt/freeze/ice, and cold, in addition to the sap not flowing."
Who else is ready for maple syrup season? Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear are hosting their Maple Sugaring Days *NEW DATE March 22*, complete with candlelit hikes at Dechow Farm, the history of maple sugaring from the Anishinaabe, sap boiling demonstrations, kids’ activities, and maple syrup tasting at Olsen Farm. The event is free with a park pass. Plan on spending at least two hours on site; more info at nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/maple-sugaring-days.htm. Also this week, just south of Cadillac in LeRoy, the Dewings Center will team up with MSU Extension for “Maple Syrup - Harvest to Table” on Feb. 25 at 5pm. Learn the maple syrup-making process from the tree to your pancakes with the experts from MSU. Registration is required with a suggested $5 donation; dewingscenter.org/event/maple-syrup-harvest-to-table.
