What's the Sweetest Deal in Elmira? Maple Syrup Festival!
Is there anything better than pure maple syrup poured over a stack of fluffy pancakes?
Maple syrup is a sweet, thick liquid made from the sap of maple trees. It's a natural sweetener that's packed with antioxidants and minerals. In Elmira, we take our maple syrup very seriously. The Elmira Maple Syrup Festival is an annual event that celebrates all things maple.
The festival is held every year in March, when the maple trees are tapped and the sap is flowing. The festival features a variety of events, including pancake breakfasts, maple syrup competitions, and a maple syrup auction.
One of the most popular events at the festival is the pancake breakfast. For a small fee, you can enjoy a stack of pancakes slathered in pure maple syrup. The pancakes are cooked over a wood fire, which gives them a delicious smoky flavor.
Another popular event is the maple syrup competition. Maple syrup producers from all over the region compete for the title of best maple syrup. The syrup is judged on its color, clarity, taste, and aroma.
The festival also features a maple syrup auction. This is a chance to bid on a variety of maple syrup products, including syrup, candy, and sugar. The auction is a great way to get a deal on some of the best maple syrup in the region.
The Elmira Maple Syrup Festival is a fun and festive event for the whole family. Come out and enjoy the sweet taste of maple syrup.
