Sweetwater Harvest Festival
March 28 - March 29
Events Navigation
From sweet samples, to hands-on fun, this two-day festival brings you on a journey from maple tree to table, and everywhere in between.
The Sweetwater Harvest Festival is a 2-day festival located in the Heart of Georgian Bay, celebrating the long standing tradition of harvesting and processing maple sap. Attendees will be treated to a full day’s worth of memorable mapley experiences and sweet treats as they journey across two unique sites in both the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre and neighbouring Sainte Marie Among the Hurons.
Beginning at Sainte Marie Among the Hurons, take home a local treasure at the Artisan Market, relive history through story-telling and reenactments, and experience sap (or ‘sweetwater’) as it was used here throughout history.
At the Wye Marsh, immerse yourself in nature and wildlife with a tour of the sugar bush. See sap become syrup in the sugar shack, get hands-on through a range of family-fun activities, and enjoy talented live musicians and entertainers.
Cap off your experience by satisfying your sweet tooth at any one of our vendors offering maple-inspired food.
