Maple in the Moonlight & Maple Sugar Days

This February, indulge your sweet side and ring in the maple sugar season at Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve

Whether you’re craving an adults-only experience or family fun, bundle up and bring your curiosity to one or both of Great Parks’ hands-on programs all about the craft and traditions behind scrumptious maple sugar. 

Maple in the Moonlight

Kick off maple season in the park after dark at this adults-only program! Hike the trail, enjoy a beer (one drink ticket included) and warm up by the fire with live music by Monte Lykins. Savor maple tastings and make a maple syrup-inspired project to take home.
