Celebrate Spring in Wayne County

Story by Max White

It’s been a long winter in metro Detroit, and while it’s possible we’ll get some snow into April, all eyes are on spring and warmer weather.

With that, places throughout Wayne County will help you celebrate spring and the arrival of warmer air. Check out some of the best events in Wayne County to celebrate spring

Maybury Farm Maple Syrup tours

Maybury Farm in Northville gives you a chance to see the maple syrup process up close, taking a wagon to the forested area of the farm and into the sugar bush where you’ll see how maple trees produce sap flows, how to tap and collect the sap. Then, you’ll see the sap become maple syrup.

Once the tour is done, you can buy some of the delicious Michigan maple syrup and do some shopping.

The tours leave every half hour from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday from March 11 through April 2.

Le Rouge, as they’re called, have home games at Keyworth from March through October. Specific spring games are on March 25, April 1, April 29, May 6, May 20 and May 27.
