Parking
Elmira Maple Syrup Festival
There are plenty of spaces to park your vehicle away from the crowds and the residential streets
Parking is $5 per vehicle - please bring cash!
Signage and volunteers will direct you to the various lots depending on how you enter Elmira. To avoid a slow ride into town, avoid the expressway at the south end of Elmira. You’ll find easier access coming into Elmira off of Northfield Drive, then turn west on 86, and then right on Arthur and park in the north parking area at Elmira Pet Products. There will be shuttles running from each of the parking areas.
*Remember the shuttle name you came from to ensure you return to the same lot as where you parked at the end of the day!
Fun Fact: Over 8 million dollars worth of tractors and wagons are used at the festival. We thank our local farmers for generously loaning out their equipment and for those who drive the tractors and are support staff on our shuttle wagons for the festival day!
