We hope to see you at the next festival on Saturday, April 11th, 2026.

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 wagons running from each of the parking areas to the downtown core. From there walk the mall or grab a shuttle to the various areas of the festival.

*Don’t forget to get your hand stamped at your parking location in order to help you remember the wagon route name you came from. This will ensure you return via the wagon to the same lot as where you parked!
