Welcome to the 222 Elmira Maple Syrup Festival

- Jessica Bauer, Co-Chair Doug McLean, Co-Chair

Welcome friends and neighbours to our 2022 Elmira Maple Syrup Festival, virtual and in partnershi­p with the Elmira BIA “We are Local” campaign.

We are very disappoint­ed that we cannot welcome you to a traditiona­l day of food, crafts, tours and activities in Elmira again this year. As a volunteer committee, the necessary planning time for a festival of 70,000 visitors was not possible due to the COVID19 restrictio­ns and guidelines, as always the health and safety of our visitors and our volunteers is our top priority.

Although we may not have our traditiona­l festival, do not fret as we have plenty planned for you to enjoy! Make sure you check out our website – elmiramapl­esyrup.com and look for us on Facebook and Instagram to see everything we have planned!
