The Vermont Maple Festival is a food and arts celebration featuring various events such as pancake breakfasts, maple product exhibits, craft exhibits, a specialty foods show, antique shows and markets and more. Visitors can also enjoy maple candy- making live demonstrations, carnival rides, sugarhouse tours and sap run, and numerous concessions all dedicated to Vermont maple syrup.

This festival is held on the last weekend in April. Over 50,000 people go to the Maple Festival every single year, which makes it the most popular annual event in St. Albans. The sugarhouses are opened to the public and visitors from all over the world have the opportunity to experience lots of different events as each maple sugarhouse comes with something of its own.

Maple sugaring is an important part of Vermont’s heritage. The 44th annual Vermont Maple Festival will offer cooking demonstrations, entertainment, antiques show, specialty food shows, face painting, sugarhouse tours, a pancake breakfast, and youth talent shows. Many events are free of charge while some have a small donation fee to access them.

Maple is the theme of the weekend, so you should try some maple sugar, or maple cotton candy, or fried dough with Vermont maple syrup. The state of Vermont has always offered quality maple syrup in every grade. For this reason St. Albans has been host to the annual Vermont Maple Show for the last 43 years. Kids and grownups alike will enjoy the parade, which is dedicated to the Maple King and Queen!

I live very close to Saint Albans, in fact I lived there most my life. So of course I’ll be there, maybe with some of my own maple syrup. So if you get the chance, come see the Vermont maple festival in Saint Albans Vermont and get some of that pure Vermont maple syrup!
