Maple season is officially here. Perhaps the sweetest season of all, maple season kicks off on the last Saturday of February each year. Some might say the highlight of the maple season, besides all of that fresh maple syrup, is the Pennsylvania Maple Festival. Mark your calendars because this year’s Pennsylvania festival boasts a jam-packed calendar of activities, events, and delicious food.
Pack your bags and head to Maple City for a weekend of fun at the 71st Annual Pennsylvania Maple Festival. (Maple City is more commonly known as Meyersdale.)

Stop by the Sugar Shack, for example, to watch maple syrup making demonstrations. Of course, that might lead to a maple craving. Try a fresh spotza, a treat made with maple syrup.
