McCreary's Manitoba maple syrup festival has been cancelled for this year
In the spirit of being a community focused organization we must do everything to preserve the health and safety of our community members. We are making an official announcement to cancel the April 4 - 5th, 2020 Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival.
The recent virus situation has caused a number of our volunteers and artists to question whether or not the festival will be feasible, wondering if there will even be an audience.
Naturally folks are not feeling much like being in close quarters at entertainment or meals.
The whole community is taking a financial hit on this one but health and safety is the priority. If you would like to support any of the producers and artists that are no longer coming, remember some of them have products and music online for purchase or they will sell or perform in the future. The festival will try to rebook the artists as much as possible. Next to toilet paper, maple syrup and music is essential when you’re quarantined!
Seriously though we wish you all the best health through this all. We are planning ahead to next season, rebooking the cancelled artists and keeping it positive for when the sap runs again.
We will update you all ASAP about plans for the next Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival in April 2021.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
|
McCreary's Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival celebrates by experience - the local producers, the culture, the heritage and the land that dominates this region.
The festival starts Saturday April 4th, 2020 with everything maple happening in McCreary - horse & wagon rides to a working sugar bush, maple taffy on snow, tree tapping clinics, bannock on a stick, music all day, childrens games/crafts and continues on Sunday April 5th with a Ecumenical Service, sugar shack tours, and so much more! Watch for more on the schedule to come. We are a green festival so we encourage people to bring their own mugs, water bottles and to recycle. A Manitoba Maple Syrup Festival water bottle or travel mug will be available for purchase on site. |
