Celebrate your favorite pancake or waffle topper at the 42nd annual Maple Syrup Festival in Cedar Rapids. Start your day with breakfast from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 29 and 30 at the Indian Creek Nature Center, where you can enjoy syrup made from trees right on-site.

When you’re full, watch a traditional syrup-making demonstration and then head to the old sugar shack to take a whiff of the sweet, steamy cauldrons of sap. Find tickets and details online.
