⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

34th Annual Hebron Maple Festival

Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

"It is the quintessential local tradition that only happens once a year. While the weather is cool, the festival is anchored by heated sugar houses where you can watch live evaporator demonstrations and get fresh, warm syrup."

PRO TIP: Avoid the traffic bottleneck in the town center by parking at RHAM High School and taking the free shuttle bus to the main festival grounds.
