MacKenzie Maple Festival

Friends of MacKenzie Maple Fest Saturday, April 5, 2025 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Ever wonder how maple syrup goes from inside a maple tree to your pancakes and waffles?

Join us at the Friends of MacKenzie Maple Fest at the MacKenzie Center, W7303 County Rd CS & Q, Poynette, WI 53955, to learn about the past and present of maple sugaring practices. This sweet event will offer all things maple syrup, including various drop-in activities, guided tours of our sugarbush, demonstrations on how to tap a tree and interpretive talks about the historical methods and cultural importance of maple sugaring in Wisconsin.

Gift shop, concessions and local Wisconsin maple syrup will be available. Quilt and 50/50 raffle drawing at noon. Maple scavenger hunt for kids and their families. This event is free and open to the public, and you do not need a state park sticker to attend.
