Local NewsMaple Syrup Festival moves to the Paris Fairgrounds 

The 12th Annual Paris Lions Club Maple Syrup Festival is set to return on Saturday, April 12th, bringing the community together for a day of sweet treats, local vendors, and live entertainment.

Due to planned downtown construction, this year’s festival will be held at the Paris Fairgrounds, offering plenty of space for visitors to enjoy the festivities.

The festival, which will run from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., will feature a mix of indoor and outdoor activities. Most vendors will be set up indoors, providing visitors with a comfortable shopping experience featuring local maple syrup, artisan goods, handmade crafts, and more. Meanwhile, food vendors and live entertainment will be outdoors, creating a fun and festive atmosphere.

The Maple Syrup Festival would not be complete without the Paris Lions Club’s famous pancakes and sausages, served with locally sourced maple syrup. This delicious breakfast is always a festival highlight and a must-have for attendees.

This year’s festival boasts an incredible lineup of live entertainment and interactive fun, including:

🎤 Joan Minnery and The Voices of SiNG iT – A high-energy vocal group delivering uplifting performances.

🎸 Thompson Road Band – A crowd-favourite band playing a mix of rock, country, and classic hits.

👢 STOMPtastic Line Dance Participation – Get your dancing boots ready! At 12:00 noon, STOMPtastic will lead an interactive line dancing session for all ages to enjoy.

The Paris Lions Club is still accepting vendor applications, but spots are going quickly! This is a great opportunity for local businesses, artisans, and food vendors to showcase their products to a large and enthusiastic crowd.

“The fairgrounds offer plenty of space for all the activities, and we’re thrilled to bring an exciting entertainment lineup this year,” said Lion Rod Laframboise. “With amazing food, music, and dancing, this will be a day the whole family can enjoy while supporting a great cause.”

Admission is free, with proceeds helping to fund local Lions Club initiatives.
