Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival

Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival invites you to witness hometown hospitality at it’s best and join us for this annual spring festival in the "sweetest" little town anywhere around! It was 1958 when the earliest Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival was held in Shepherd. Trees were tapped, sap was gathered by volunteers, and the public was invited to a community wide pancake dinner. Proceeds from the sale of the syrup helped support recreational activities and facilities in the community. In its earliest years, festivals consisted of fun, family activities, and was a community driven effort.
