Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival
Thousands of people flocked to Shepherd for the 67th annual Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival on April 24-27, 2025. The festival featured all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage meals, a carnival, pancake eating contests, helicopter rides, horse and tractor pulls and many more events. Shepherd's maple syrup production and the festival are made possible by the work of over 800 volunteers each year. Since its first year, funds from the festival have been used to support a variety of community projects.
