Maple Sugar Festival & Pancake Breakfast
Join us at Hale Farm & Village for our annual tradition of celebrating spring!
March 7-8, 14-15 & 21-22
Welcome the return of spring at Hale Farm & Village during the beloved 2026 Maple Sugar Festival & Pancake Breakfast, taking place over three sweet weekends: March 7–8, March 14–15, and March 21–22, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
As warmer days arrive and maple sap begins to flow, visitors are invited to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of 19th-century farm life. Hale Farm & Village’s skilled makers and storytellers bring the season to life—from the bustling sugar camp and crackling hearths to open pastures, historic kitchens, and hands-on seasonal activities designed for all ages.
Begin your visit with a hearty pancake breakfast at the Gatehouse Visitor Center, served from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and proudly presented by Acme Fresh Markets. This farm-favorite meal is included with a combination museum and breakfast ticket.
Throughout the day, guests can explore the time-honored process of maple sugaring, including live demonstrations of tree tapping and sap boiling in the wood-fired evaporator at C.O. Hale’s 1910 Sugar House - a tradition with deep roots in Native American knowledge and early American agriculture. Visitors can also enjoy historic cooking and craft demonstrations, observe draft animals at work, and gain a vivid glimpse into daily life on 1800s farms set against the scenic backdrop of the Cuyahoga Valley.
Be sure to stop by Hale Farm’s MarketPlace, open throughout the festival, offering seasonal gifts and a curated selection of Ohio-made, historically inspired items.
