The indigenous people of eastern and central North America tapped maple trees for their sap for many years, and an upcoming Mississauga activity will explore the process.
The Maple Magic Festival will celebrate maple sap and the products that are made from it, such as sugar, syrup, maple butter and more. It will be a ticketed activity, and will go ahead rain or shine.
The attendees will be invited to explore a variety of displays that show how maple syrup was traditionally prepared, and everyone will be able to do some taste testing when they enjoy a stack of pancakes with authentic syrup. Hands-on crafts will be on offer, and games and guided tours will also take place. Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations Elder Mark Sault will be on hand on select dates to share insights into other foods traditionally enjoyed by area First Nations people. A petting zoo may also be on site.
Museums offer opportunities for the public to view living history exhibits and learn about their community’s past. Signage for a special seasonal event like this can be prepared by an area printing services company.
Bradley Museum’s Maple Magic Festival will be exploring the past, present and future of this sweet treat from March 14th until March 22nd. It can be found at 1620 Orr Road. Tickets are available for purchase through the Visit Mississauga website.
