Happy 50th Birthday Elmira Maple Syrup Festival!…read more It was a cold cold overcast day. Maybe that was why the festival was not as crowded as I expected. Parking was easy, you have a choice to park at the various designated parking lot for $5 per vehicle and includes a wagon ride or you can go around and look for a parking spot in the surrounding residential area. Pancake lines was acceptable $5 for a 2 pancakes and drink. There was a tent area set up so you can enjoy some of those fluffy pancakes away from the cold gusty wind. I just wish there was more maple syrup! If you want to keepsake bottle of Maple Syrup commemorate the 50th anniversary of the event, you would need to pick up from one of the vendors here at the festival. There were quite a few food vendors, but most of them were serving up the usual carnival style food. Elmira Maple Syrup Festival is worth coming if you are in the area. It is the World largest Single Day Maple Syrup event and it is really community orientated. I would not mind coming back again on a nice warm spring day in the future!

3.5/5 Went to the…read moreElmira Maple Syrup Festival today. I took GRT there, which was extremely convenient as it only took about 30 minutes between Conestoga Mall and the festival site (bypassing all the car traffic on 85 and on Arthur). Arriving at around 12:30, the place was extremely busy. It was about as crowded as the nightclub just before last call, except people are all happy and it is kid-friendly. Some stuff I saw/went to include the sawmilling area, pancake flipping, and concerts at Gore Park. There was also an endless sea of food vendors...which is where 1.5 stars are eliminated. Seeing how this is a MAPLE SYRUP festival, I expected the food vendors to have some sort of maple syrup theme. At the very least, since we're in Waterloo Region, I expected the food vendors to have a German theme. However, there was a large vendor selling fajitas, falafel, shawarmas...etc. There was another vendor selling corn on the cob, and some more other vendors selling food that is not related to the festival at all. Maybe I'm being a little anal, but when the festival is advertised to have a maple syrup theme, I expect elements of it (including food) to revolve around the theme of maple syrup. That being said, I enjoyed my time up in Elmira today. Be warned though: I highly recommend you take GRT to get there (they operate extra buses that day anyway), as the process of being stuck in traffic and looking for parking can be quite agitating.

We got a campsite with some friends and pitched a tent. It was nice to have a fire at night. The campground has showers you have to pay for - bring extra change! I had never experienced a timed shower and had to beg folks walking by for change so I could finish washing my hair. We brought bikes so were were able to get around the island to and from the concert grounds easily. There is bike parking lot as well. Music wise it was amazing! So many different kinds of music and venues. The schedule goes all day and night. There were a bunch of classes and workshops you could take as well. We had fun walking around checking out the art, eating lots of snacks, enjoying the music and sunshine. Great recycling and compost setup. I would definitely return and recommend the festival to friends. We had a blast! It seems like the kind of place you get to do what makes you happy. Plenty of time to rest or nap, relaxed peaceful environment. There were lots of families and kids activities too.

I was horrified to hear the staff berating a woman who had her mask down in the store. The ignorant staffer asked if she had a virology degree and insisted that a cloth mask was mandatory even though the woman had put it back up. Even Fauci at this point has said cloth masks don't stop the spread of this virus. It's disturbing that staff can be belligerent to customers as mandates are about to be dropped literally tomorrow. Never will I shop here again.
