Did you make it to the Muskoka Maple Festival on Saturday?

By Community, News

Although it was a soggy and grey day, community members braved the intermittent rain and still managed to celebrate the long tradition of maple syrup at the Muskoka Maple Festival held in downtown Huntsville.

Festivalgoers enjoyed maple syrup-inspired goodies, and a day full of entertainment, which included fan favourites such as axe throwing, baby goats, and a mini putting station.  

Another crowd-pleaser was the Great Canadian Lumberjack Show  with four lumberjacks competing against each other. The lumberjacks competed in events such as axe throwing, underhand chop, crosscut saw race, chainsaw race, and many more events. (See video below).

The festival included live music and a drumming circle.  

That night, musicians were also scheduled to perform around town at locations like Moose Delaney’s, Canvas Brewing Co., and other locations throughout town.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., people and vendors could be seen on Huntsville’s Main Street for the Muskoka Maple Festival. This was the second year of the festival’s return since the COVID-19 pandemic began. (Photo: Danielle McPherson)
