The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) is pleased to invite the community to the annual A.W. Campbell Maple Syrup Festival on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 10:00 am to 3;00 pm.
Attendees are asked to park at the Brooke-Alvinston- Inwood Community Centre Complex at 310 Walnut Street in Alvinston, where tickets can be purchased. A complimentary shuttle service will transport visitors to and from the A.W. Campbell Conservation Area. Anyone with accessibility questions is encouraged to contact SCRCA in advance to arrange accommodations.
Interpretive staff will be on hand throughout the day to demonstrate traditional maple syrup production methods and share the significance of this “liquid gold” in the lives of First Nations and early European settlers. With a little cooperation rom Mother Nature (cold frosty nights followed by sunny days), visitors may even have the opportunity to taste fresh sap straight from the tree.
In addition to festival activities, the Alvinston Firefighters Association will host their annual Pancake Breakfast at the Brooke-Alvinston-Inwood Community Centre Complex from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on both Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22. Community members are encouraged to attend and support both events.
