Day Trip: National Maple Syrup Festival

Back after a year’s hiatus and a move to Brown County, the National Maple Syrup Festival (formerly in Medora) draws the city’s savvy foodies to sample artisan goods such as barrel-aged products from the festival’s founder, Burton’s Maplewood Farm. The itinerary also includes workshops, demonstrations, Native American history reenactments, a culinary competition—and, yes, pancakes. March 5–8; 800-753-3255, browncounty.com/maplesyrup
