April 16th, 2011 marked our 14th Annual Powassan Maple Syrup Festival (PMSF). As always, the day started off with our Pancake Breakfasts at 7am and a whole day full activities and fun! It certainly was a very full day of food, live music, crafts, and family fun events including some new attractions to the 2011 Festival.
In the past 13 years, we have generally seen the attendance at our one-day festival around 5000 people and despite some cool weather this year, the festival once again saw a crowd that was in excess of our target. Even though it wasn't a record breaking crowd like in 2010, it certainly was satisfying to see all those smiling faces braving the cool weather and having fun. Thank you to all visitors and supporters for making the 2011 Festival a great success…your support is always appreciated! At this point in the year, the Planning Committee for the 2012 festival is active and planning to make the 2012 Powassan Maple Syrup Festival an event that everyone should mark on their calendar in order to be part of. It is sure to be another fun, entertaining and successful Festival! Even though we are early into the 2012 planning, visitors to the Festival can expect to see our staple events that crowds have come to know the festival for, but the Festival Planning Committee will also be building on a number of events that were new to the 2011 Festival, in order to present a full slate of fun an exciting attractions for the whole family. And don't forget – access to the Festival is free! |
As a quick and friendly reminder, the Powassan Maple Syrup Festival is held no matter what the weather, so please dress accordingly. For 2012, the Festival will be moving back to its traditional 4th Saturday in April, meaning the festivities will take place on April 28th. Powassan is just 20 min south of North Bay and 50 min north of Huntsville on HWY 11. You will find our Main Street lined with things to do and see, so be sure to bring your family, friends and smiles – come and join us for a fun day devoted to Maple Syrup! As we get closer to the festival, please take a look at the events section on the website for a full listing of events.
