What is more invigorating than the smell of Maple syrup being poured onto buttered spread hotcakes? A hearty breakfast indeed! This is grand breakfast the Arizona way- where heaps of homemade pancakes are slowly being drowned by thick, pure authentic Maple Syrup. Indiana is home to the best Maple syrup in the country.

Thousands of locals and enthusiasts gather to attend this spectacular event in commemoration to this amazing concoction bearing-the Maple tree. The Festival offer games and enjoyment for the whole family that is surely not to be missed! The Festival is in commemoration to the Maple Syrup which is very common in the area.

The spring season is almost near and flowers are beginning to show in flowerless trees and shrubs. This is the ideal and best time to celebrate the National Maple Syrup Festival. The Maple tree begins to show off its tangerine colored leaves during this season, which serves as a perfect if not, best backdrop to the Festival. Vendors and exhibitors show off their farms' produce either for selling or for exhibit purposes. Indeed, the experience one can get through this Festival is memorable and exciting. Both sellers and buyers will benefit from this event that is being held annually.

The event has contests where the best tasting maple Syrup is judged by a set of jurors or judging committees. Children are provided with the best enjoyment as there are face painting classes, workshops, seminars, play areas and parlor games available for their perusal. Indeed the whole family will benefit from this event and it is an opportunity too big to miss!
