We’re celebrating Maple Sugaring Season with three Sundays of family festival fun this winter!

Join us for our annual First County Bank Maple Sugar Fest Sundays as we make our very own line of maple syrup from the 200+ mature maple trees found right here on our 118-acre campus. We’re one of only two official maple sugar producers in Fairfield County!

Each Sunday we’ll open our site at 10 am with added attractions, enhanced programming, fun seasonal offerings, free giveaways, and traditional favorites like Native American, Colonial and Modern sugaring demonstrations until 2 pm*.

There will also be special attractions exclusive to each Fest date. We'll kick off the festivities with a Disney Character Brunch on March 2nd, Siberian Huskies on-site for you to meet and greet on March 9th, and the adorable Teacup Piggies are back this year on March 16th!

Need a Husky Hug?

At our March 9th Fest, Connecticut Valley Siberian Husky Club Members will bring several Siberian Huskies for cuddles and kisses.

The club will also demonstrate how they train dogs for sledding and other events. Demos will include training with a sled, bike or wheeled rig, if weather and conditions permit.
