The Pakenham Maple Run Tour returns for its 20th time on April 6 and 7, with 8 tour stops and the art and fine craft of a select group of Ottawa Valley artists. A tour like no other, Maple Run is a unique blend of art, heritage buildings and spectacular spring scenery, all set within a 40km tour route that runs right through maple syrup country. Maple Run is a self-guided free tour with stops open from 10am to 5pm both days. Check mapleruntour.com or our Facebook page for more information.
Our Maple Run visitors tell us the tour is like a breath of fresh air after a long winter. There’s art, fine and traditional craft, food, craft beverages – and the venues are a tour all by themselves. You can visit all the tour stops in a day, and that also leaves time to plan a visit to a local sugar bush such as Fulton’s on Maple Weekend.
