Chairperson’s Welcome
Welcome to the 49th Annual Elmira Maple Syrup Festival!
On behalf of the organizing committee and the 2000+ volunteers, we welcome you to the town of Elmira. Our attraction has grown into the World’s Largest One Day Maple Syrup Festival. Every year since 1965 Elmira has hosted this annual event that attracts nearly 70,000 people ready to taste the local maple syrup poured onto thousands of pancakes. The entire community comes alive and volunteers, young and old, contribute in any way they can. The proceeds raised by the Festival are donated back to non-profit organizations in the community.
Come join us and taste, smell and experience the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival. The entire family will enjoy the tradition that makes the town of Elmira a vibrant and fun place to visit.
Enjoy the day! Come Taste the Tradition on Saturday April 6, 2013!

Mission Statement
Our goal is to offer a family friendly, volunteer led festival to celebrate Elmira’s history as a maple syrup producing community through a blend of traditional and innovative events that will attract guests from across Ontario and beyond.
Vision Statement
We want to present the best one day Spring Festival in Ontario that honours our host of volunteers; supports local non-profit organizations; respects the environment; and partners with the maple syrup producers, downtown businesses, and the local community to make the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival a must attend event each and every year.
The Elmira Maple Syrup Festival…not only makes for a great spring start but helps the winter blues fade into the past!
