Tapping into Sweetness

The celebration of Maple Syrup begins on Tappin' Sunday which usually occurs on the 1st Sunday in March. This year it is March 1st , 2026!

This includes the tapping of all the maple trees on Chardon Square to have syrup for the festival. To tap a tree, you must drill a hole in the tree to start. Then you must tap the spike and hang the bucket from the tree.

The sap collected from Tappin' Sunday is then taken to the Chardon Square Sugar house where it is turned into Maple syrup stirs for customers to enjoy.
