When : Saturday April 26th

After a nice easy ride through th ecopuntryside we'll end up at the festival, park the scoots and walk up the firehouse for their fantastic pancake breakfast...yep, you guessed it, with real maple syrup!

See, look how happy everyone is enjoying their pancakes.smiley

It is the original maple syrup festival in Michigan and came about in 1940, when local syrup producers gathered in a barber shop to discuss a way to sell their product.
Our festival is always held during the last full weekend in April. The local syrup producers place themselves throughout the village to sell syrup, candies, crème, and other treats like the ever-popular maple syrup cotton candy.
The weekend offers something for everyone - carnival rides, a talent show, arts and crafts, a flea market, two parades, a petting zoo, a princess pageant,various informational displays, games, free entertainment, a pancake derby, arm wrestling, and more!
We invite you to join us and enjoy pancakes with real maple syrup offered by the Maple Valley Band Boosters and the American Legion.

Hope to see you there!  Celebrating our 85th Festival!
