The Great Lakes State hosts all sorts of fantastic festivals throughout the year, celebrating everything from tulips to cherries to lilac blossoms. There’s one delightful gathering, though, where you’ll have a sweet adventure with the whole family. If you’re ready for a weekend of fun accompanied by plenty of sugar, mark your calendars for this awesome Michigan festival.
The 2019 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival will take place from April 26th through the 28th in Vermontville, a tiny village situated in Eaton County.
Now in its 79th year, the festival draws in Michiganders of all ages with its small town charm, exciting events, and - of course - seemingly endless supply of syrup.
As the home of Michigan’s original maple syrup festival, Vermontville offers a perfect venue for fun with the family. There’s truly something here to delight every attendee.
Throughout the weekend, the community comes to life - and you’ll have a blast. Watch a talent show, check out the Vermontville Historical Museum, or enjoy fireworks.
On Friday morning, be sure to catch the crowning of the 2019 Maple Syrup Festival Queen and her court. There’s a sense of pomp and circumstance throughout town.
Of course, maple syrup takes center stage during the fest. Enjoy a pancake breakfast, try some tasty maple syrup cotton candy, and grab a few products from local vendors.
Other events include a flea market, plenty of games and activities for little ones, a petting zoo, and educational exhibits about maple syrup. What’s not to adore?
By the time you’re ready to head home, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to explore this annual gem. There’s no better way to sweeten up your weekend.
