A visit to the Highland Maple Festival is a culinary experience!  Sample delicious local products and a selection of tasty treats infused with Highland-made maple syrup.  Maple donuts, maple-glazed chicken, maple candy, all-you-can-eat plain and buckwheat pancakes—smothered in maple syrup—are “musts” on your Maple Festival to-do list!  And, don’t forget Highland County-grown lamb and trout dinners.
