Is there anything better than fresh maple syrup poured on pancakes? You might have had pancakes and syrup at a diner where the syrup just tasted “sweet”, but there’s something unique about the taste of the real thing. While maple syrup can be purchased at stores, few people have had the experience of tasting it straight from the tree – except for those lucky visitors to Indian Creek Nature Center in Cedar Rapids. Every year, this small museum hosts the largest maple syrup festival in Iowa, where guests can experience the ancient art of maple sugaring and indulge in a massive communal pancake breakfast – where the condiment in question is on every table! The event is being held on March 25th and 26th in 2023, so get ready for the sweetest festival of the year!
