The story

Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival in Vermontville

Vermontville calls itself home to Michigan's original maple syrup festival. Pancakes with real maple syrup, producer sales, two parades, a talent show, arts and crafts and a flea market join distinctive contests such as the Pancake Derby and pedal tractor pull. The recurring practices—local syrup producer sales, pancake meals with real maple syrup, and two parades and Pancake Derby—tie the public program to the place and the people who sustain it.

Local producers sell syrup, candy, cream and maple cotton candy beneath more than five hundred village maple trees while pancake griddles work through the last full April weekend.
