41Â YEAR EVANSVILLE TRADITION
Celebrate the maple sugar harvest from the trees of Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve at our 41st Annual Maple Sugarbush Festival! Bring the family to enjoy a hearty breakfast, including sausage, all-you-can-eat pancakes with pure maple syrup, and juice, milk, and/or coffee. After breakfast, families can take a guided tour through the woods to observe how sap is harvested from the sugar maple trees, and then visit the sugar shack to witness the process of boiling the sap into pure, delicious maple syrup. Family-friendly activities add to the festivities. Maple confections and Maple Soap, along with Wesselman Woods Maple Syrup will be for sale as well.
We welcome you to join us for this local tradition of discovery and fun in the Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve!
