Join us for the Maple Sugar Festival at Austin Gardens on Sunday, March 8 from 11:00A-1:00P. This is a free event, no registration required.

Learn how to identify and tap a maple tree, including drilling and setting the tap. Then, we’ll simmer the sap over a fire to make syrup and maple candy!

Plus, enjoy maple-themed activities in the Austin Gardens Nature Center.
