About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Join us as we gather in the Living Tree sugar bush to wake up Mother Earth and honor the Jewish month of joy and Vermont's great miraculous thaw. Hibernation season is over, so let's celebrate!

We’ll have lots to do at this all-ages seasonal celebration:

  • See an old-school maple sugar operation run by the Crowley family at Living Tree
  • Have fun with flower wreath making and face painting
  • Enjoy music and food by the fire
  • Revel in our community theater pageant—an “everyone plays a part” production
  • Share in the joy of fresh sap, syrup, and the new season 

A few more details:

  • Admission is by pay-what-you-can donation ($18-54 suggested)
  • Be prepared for lots of mud (muckboots and waterproof pants recommended), as getting to the sugar house involves a walk.
  • Fresh maple syrup will be available for purchase—cash only! 
  • Please leave your dogs at home

This event is cosponsored by Jewish Communities of Vermonth, with generous support from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
