Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival – See you April 10-11, 2027

Vendor scam alert — Fake registration forms and payment requests

Scam

A fake Google Form is circulating for the 2027 Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival. It asks vendors to sign up and then requests payment. If you receive it, don’t open the form, share your information, or send money. We’ve reported the form to Google.

We announced on November 4, 2026, that vendor registration was open. To register, start on the official festival website and use the vendor registration form there. The festival never emails vendors a direct link to a Google Form.

1. 1. Check the sender. Our festival announcements come from info@maplesyrupfestival.ca. The scam email we’ve seen came from maplesyrupfest.ca@gmail.com. The festival doesn’t use Gmail accounts.
  2. Check the payment address. The festival’s only e-transfer address is payment@maplesyrupfestival.ca.
  3. Ask us to verify. If you’re unsure about a message or have already filled out the form or sent money, contact info@maplesyrupfestival.ca. Rich or Donna will get back to you.
