TORONTO, Dec. 17 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, National Maple Syrup Day, Sugar Shack TO, presented by Redpath Sugar, is thrilled to announce its sweet return to Toronto’s waterfront. On March 11-12, 2023, this annual outdoor event will transform Sugar Beach into a Canadian extravaganza showcasing all things maple.
In 2020, two days before Sugar Shack TO was supposed to take place, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, resulting in the cancellation of all festivals and events. After three years and three canceled events, the producers are thrilled to finally return to Sugar Beach with a lineup of Canadian entertainment, comfort food, activities and of course tons of maple taffy.
“We are beyond excited to bring Sugar Shack TO back to the Toronto waterfront for a safe outdoor event,” said co-producer Victoria Mahoney. “The 2023 event will be sweeter than ever as it brings together our amazing waterfront partners, local businesses and visitors for a well-deserved maple celebration.
