Maple Day is Back!
It’s maple season! Join us for this community event at the South Shore YMCA Natural Science Center to celebrate the New England maple sugaring season. The day will be equally educational and delicious – with a tree tapping demonstration, nature walks, kids crafts, live music, maple taste tests, a maple lab, maple food vendors, and more!
This event is free and open to the community, rain or shine. Food & beverage will be available for purchase from local vendors with a sweet maple twist!
