Whitetop Mountain Annual Maple Festival
March 28 & 29, 2026

Whitetop's Maple Syrup tradition began over 50 years ago with the creation of the
Whitetop Mountain Molasses and Maple Syrup Company
Every year since, we celebrate this tradition with the annual Whitetop Maple Syrup Festival.  

Come join us for a family-friendly good time.  Enjoy a pancake meal with genuine maple syrup and some traditional mountain music.  Pancakes will be served at the community center, all day Saturday and Sunday.  Throughout the day, tapping tours will be offered on Whitetop Mountain, and local musicians will be performing at the Fire Hall.

All proceeds from this event go to support Mt Rogers Fire & Rescue.

PANCAKES

Start the day with a delicious pancake breakfast.  The meal includes pancakes with maple syrup, sausage, applesauce & a drink.

TAPPING TOURS

The tapping tours are a unique and educational experience that portrays a rapidly vanishing way of American life.  Every hour, local experts will demonstrate both the tubing and bucket method for tapping a tree.
