Entertainment Abounds At This Years Maple Festival In Highland County
Entertainment Abounds At This Years Maple Festival In Highland County Ellen Phillips
Sit back and enjoy some fine entertainment while you eat your Maple Donuts Take a step back in time to Highland County, "Virginia's Switzerland." Travel back roads and mountain byways to the annual Highland Maple Festival. Held on the 2nd and 3rd weekends of March, the Maple Festival has been an annual event in Highland County, Virginia, since 1958.

Each year, thousands of visitors are drawn to this unspoiled, rural region of Virginia to celebrate the "opening" of the trees and observe the process of maple syrup-making. Sugar camp tours provide a unique and educational experience that portrays a rapidly vanishing way of American life.

Maps to the Sugar Camps, and a list of events, including pancake breakfast locations can be found at www.highlandcounty.org
