Due to being unable to have the 2020 Highland County Maple Festival in March of 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Highland County Chamber of Commerce has developed this additional page as a way for you to connect with some of our scheduled 2020 Arts & Crafts, Food and Information Desk Vendors. Although we missed seeing them in person, we hope this alternative means will be a way to get connected with one-of-a-kind handcrafted items, delicious food, nonprofit causes and more from these talented vendors who chose to be placed on this page. Many events have been cancelled due to the pandemic, and many vendors rely on such events for their livelihood, so please feel free to browse and connect directly with vendors to show support as you are able during these challenging times. This page was updated frequently with participating vendors through the end of April of 2020. Due to the cancellation of the 2021 Maple Festival, we will leave this page up until further notice. Thank you for your support of this vendors who play a critical role in the success of the festival each year.
