The Great Maple Syrup Slurp Up Puppet Show

No one loves maple syrup as much as Russell… that is… no one on Earth! The Great Maple Syrup Slurp Up is a puppet show for kids and has an interactive climax to the story that will immerse everyone in the family. Help Russell save our precious maple syrup by any means necessary because let’s face it, pancakes just don’t taste quite right without it.

Catch the show at 12:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. 

Exclusive event for March 11 and 12 only

Learn about Indigenous maple sugaring traditions from Elder Mark Sault of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, who will provide storytelling and traditional Anishinaabe teachings about the maple harvest over an outdoor fire pit.
