of the Maple Harvest Festival

Maple Harvest Festival and Pancake Buffet at Shaver's Creek

Shaver's Creek has held the annual festival since 1984 to celebrate the first harvest of the new year and help people learn about the maple sugaring process—both in colonial days and in the present day.

  • Learn how to identify and tap sugar maple trees and visit the Sugar Shack to see sap being turned into syrup!
  • Watch costumed interpreters demonstrate sugaring techniques used by Native Americans, pioneers, and modern-day farmers
  • Enjoy live music
  • See live birds of prey and reptile shows
  • Savor all-you-can-eat pancakes and maple syrup

Costs:
Festival and pancake breakfast—$8 for age 6 and up; Members $4
Organic sausage provided by Penn State's Sustainable Agriculture Club: $2
Members of Shaver's Creek are welcome to a free member's breakfast on Sunday from 9:30–10:30 a.m.

Location:
Petersburg, Pennsylvania
