The weeklong Festival is held the last full week of April each year {April 23 - 26, 2015} . During Syrup Festival week there are numerous garage & yard sales.
Thursday night is our annual Carnival "Buddy Nite". We start the Carnival with buy one ride band and get a second ride band for half price. The Carnival rides open at 5:00 p.m.
We look forward to celebrating the our 57th Annual Maple Syrup Festival with you!
The Village of Shepherd is located West of US 127 between Alma/St. Louis to the South and Mt. Pleasant to the North
All work on the syrup, candy, and all other areas of the festival is voluntary and almost everyone participates! Children work with adults carrying sap buckets during the sap run in late February or early March. Many retirees are our most faithful sausage makers. Would you believe that we make two-and-one half tons of sausage on the Saturday before the festival? Other pre-festival activities include a queen’s pageant, silverware wrapping bee, and candy making. Then we all work together again during the festival weekend.
As usual there will be the famous and delicious Pancake, Maple Syrup, and Sausage Meals served at the Shepherd High School Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon.
All of the planned activities (including craft shows, entertainment, children’s activities, museums, tractor pulls, classic car and tractor displays, parades, chainsaw carving, and amusement, train, and pony rides) add up to a most enjoyable and memorable weekend for people of all ages.
