Hailed as one of the “Top 10 Time Honored Events of Vermont” by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce comes the annual Vermont Maple Festival!
A sweet celebration of the goodness of maple! The Vermont Maple Festival takes place annually in April in the town of St. Albans, Vermont, only 40 short minutes from Sterling Ridge Resort.
Traditionally, some of the most popular events at the festival are a Vermont Maple Beverage Tasting (21 and over) at 14th Star Brewing. Each beverage is made with maple syrup – YUM! For the kids, or for the young at heart, there is also a carnival all weekend.
For the hungry and breakfast-obsessed, there’s a delicious pancake breakfast at the St. Albans City Elementary School with proceeds going to help the Martha’s Kitchen of St. Albans Vermont.
Fan of the Vermont arts? Try your hand at painting Vermont scenery on maple sap buckets! This event also features local musicians sure to please both the kids and the adults!

Other popular events include an antique show, a Variety Show, a Craft and Food Show, the Saint Albans Museum, and chainsaw art by Mark LeClair. All of these events will be going on throughout the weekend.
Don’t forget to come hungry! The Vermont Maple Festival has wonderful food vendors from around the state to satisfy the hungriest families! It’s not a festival without fried food!
