The most sticky-sweet event in the Lake George Area is back!
Are you in search of the next family-friendly Lake George end-of-winter event to attend? Look no further – for three weekends in a row, the five largest maple syrup producers in the Lake George Area and several neighboring farms open their doors to the public for Thurman Maple Days, the sweetest event spring has to offer. Celebrate the season with free tours, tastings, demonstrations, and a vast array of foods and souvenirs available to take home.
During this three-weekend maple celebration, you’ll be able to taste the finest maple syrup, watch an operating sawmill, taste goat cheese and sheep cheese, and even hang out with llamas. As a self-guided tour, you’ll be in the driver’s seat and have the ability to visit all the farms or spend your time at the ones you enjoy most.
To find our Maple Farms follow the arrow signs at nearly every corner in town.
